The relation between the number of links (l) and the number of binary joints ( j) for a kinematic chain having constrained motion is given by j = 3/2 I -2 If the left hand side of this equation is greater than right hand side, then the chain is

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
