Simple Mechanisms topics: Simple mechanisms, kinematic links and chains, links types, mechanism, grublers criterion, single and double slider crank chain inversions, kutzbach criterion applications, kinematics chains and its types. A simple mechanism is a mechanical device that uses mechanical advantage to multiply force and change the direction or magnitude of a force. A mechanism with four links is considered a simple mechanism.  Here are some examples of simple mechanisms: Lever: A rigid body that can rotate on a point on itself. A lever is a bar or board that rests on a support called... Show more
