2.1 Degree of Freedom (DOF) or Mobility
• DOF – number of independent parameters (measurements) that are needed to uniquely define its position in space at any instant of time.
• Rigid body in a plane has 3 DOF. (x,y,θ)
• Rigid body in space has 6 DOF (3 translation, 3 rotation)
2.2 Types of Motion
• Pure Rotation – the body possesses on point (center of rotation) that has no motion with respect to the “stationary” frame of reference. All other points move in circular arcs
• Pure Translation – all points on the body describe parallel (curvilinear or rectilinear) paths.
• Complex motion – a simultaneous combination of rotation and translation
2.3 Links, joints, and kinematic chains
• Links – building blocks
• Node – attachment points– Binary link – two nodes
– Ternary link – three nodes
– Quaternary link – four nodes
• Joint – connection between two or more links (at their nodes) which allows motion– Classified by type of contact, number of DOF, type of
physical closure, or number of links joined
Joint Classification
• Type of contact - line, point, surface
• Number of DOF – full joint=1DOF, half joint=2DOF (removes half as many DOF)
• Form closed (closed by geometry) or Force closed (needs an external force to keep it closed)
• Joint order = number of links-1
Kinematic chains, mechanisms, machines, link classification
• Kinematic chains –links joined together for motion
• Mechanisms – grounded kinematic chain
• Machines – mechanism designed to do work
• Link classification– Ground – fixed w.r.t. reference frame
– Crank – pivoted to ground, makes complete revolution
– Rocker – pivoted to ground, has oscillatory motion
– Coupler - link has complex motion, not attached to ground
2.4 Determining Degree of Freedom
• For simple mechanisms calculating DOF is simple
Closed MechanismDOF=1
Open MechanismDOF=3
2.4 Determining Degree of Freedom
• Gruebler’s equation for planar mechanisms
M=3L-2J-3G
• Where– M=degree of freedom or mobility
– L=number of links
– J=number of joints (half joints count as 0.5)
– G=number of grounded links =1
M=3(L-1)-2J
2.4 Determining Degree of Freedom
• Kutzbach’s equation for planar mechanisms
M=3(L-1)-2J1-J2
• Where– M=degree of freedom or mobility
– L=number of links
– J1=number of full joints
– J2=number of half joints
• For Spatial Mechanisms
M=6(L-1) -5J1-4J2-3J3-2J4-J5

2.5 Mechanisms and Structures
• Mechanism – DOF>0
• Structure – DOF=0
• Preloaded Structure –DOF<0, may require force to assemble
2.6 Number Synthesis• Number Synthesis – determination of the number
and order of links and joints necessary to produce motion of a particular DOF

2.7 Paradoxes
• Greubler criterion does not include geometry, so it can give wrong prediction
• Usually when things are the same
E-quintetGears
2.8 Isomers
• Greek for having equal parts
• Refers to valid ways to assemble different types of links
• Only one valid fourbar isomer
• Two valid sixbar isomers
• Third one fails DOF test, as the DOF is not distributed over the linkage.
Fourbar Isomer
• Only way to construct a fourbar isomer is to have one binary link next to another binary link.
Watt’s Sixbar Isomer
• One way to construct a sixbar isomer is to have the two ternary links attached.
Stephenson’s Sixbar Isomer
• One way to construct a sixbar isomer is to have the two ternary links separated.
Invalid Sixbar Isomer
• This is an invalid isomer as the DOF is not distributed through the mechanism
This is a structureEffective link
2.9 Linkage Transformation• A slider can be replaced by a link of infinite length
2.10 Intermittent Motion
• Series of Motions and Dwells
• Dwell – no output motion with input motion
• Examples: Geneva Mechanism, Linear Geneva Mechanism, Ratchet and Pawl
Geneva Mechanism Linear Geneva Mechanism
Ratchet and Pawl 2.11 Inversion
• Created by grounding a different link in a kinematic chain
• Different behavior for different inversions
3 Stephenson 6-bar inversions 2 Watt’s 6-bar inversions
2.12 Grashof Condition
• Fourbar linkage is simplest linkage with 1DOF• Grashof condition predicts behavior of linkage
based only on links length– S=length of shortest link– L=length of longest link– P,Q=length of other two links
• If S+L�P+Q the linkage is Grashof with at least one link capable of making a complete rotation
• Otherwise the linkage is non-Grashof with no link capable of making a complete rotation relative to ground
For case of S+L<P+Q
• Ground link adjacent to shortest => crank-rocker
• Ground shortest link => double crank
• Ground link opposite shortest link – Grashof double rocker with shortest link capable of making a complete rotation
For the case of S+L>P+Q
• All inversions will be double rockers
For the case of S+L=P+Q
• Book says all inversions will be double cranks or crank rockers (true if S=P,L=Q)
• Indeterminate point when links are aligned (change points)

2.13 Linkages of more than 4 bars
5-bar 2DOFGeared 5-bar 1DOF
•Provides for more complex motion
•Watt’s sixbar – 2 fourbar linkages in series
•Stephenson’s sixbar – 2 fourbar linkages in parallel
2.14 Springs as links
• Springs remove a degree of freedom (1 more equation)
• Examples: desk arm lamp, garage door
2.15 Compliant Mechanisms
• Compliant “ link” capable of significant deflection acts like a joint
• Also called a “ living hinge”
• Advantage: simplicity, no assembly, little friction
2.16 Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
• Micromachines range in size from few micrometers to a few millimeters
• Shape is made on large scale, then photographically reduced on wafer and etched.
• Can make compliant mechanisms in MEMS
