COMPOUND MACHINES

Combining knowledge about Simple Machines and basic Machine Elements.

Kinematic Pairs

Two rigid bodies moving with respect to one another.

Made possible, by...

Joints

A mechanical constraint that connects kinematic pairs and controls the “Degrees of Freedom” of a mechanism.

Varieties of Joints

Prismatic Joint Revolute Joint Cylindrical Joint

Varieties of Joints

Screw Joint(Linear Actuator) Ball and Socket Joint

Universal Joint (U-Joint)

Degrees of Freedom (DOF)

Set of possible displacements, rotations that define the position & orientation of a body/system.
