OBJECTIVES:
The course should enable the students to:
I. Understand the basic principles of kinematics and the related terminology of machines.
II. Discriminate mobility, enumerate links and joints in the mechanisms.
III. Formulate the concept of analysis of different mechanisms.
IV. Understand the working of various straight line mechanisms, gears, gear trains, steering gear
mechanisms, cams and a Hooke’s joint.
V. Analyze a mechanism for displacement, velocity and acceleration of links in a machine.

MECHANISMS AND MACHINES: Elements or Links – Classification – Rigid Link, flexible and fluid
link. Types of kinematic pairs – sliding, turning, rolling, screw and spherical pairs – lower and higher
pairs – closed and open pairs – constrained motion – completely, partially or successfully constrained and
incompletely constrained. Mechanisms and machines – classification of mechanisms and machines –

crank chain .Mobility of mechanisms. Straight Line Motion Mechanisms- Exact and approximate, copiers
and generated types –Peaucellier, Hart and Scott Russel – Grasshopper, Watt, Tchebicheff and Robert
