INTRODUCTION
Design of a mechanical system needs a proper understanding of two
aspects:
Geometric aspects of motion
Various forces involved in motion
The subject that deals only with geometric aspects of motion
without any consideration of forces is called ‘kinematics’ . The
word has been derived from the Greek word ‘kinema’ which means
motion.
![Page 3: Kinematics of Mechanisms - bcrec · Design of a mechanical system needs a proper understanding of two aspects: Geometric aspects of motion Various forces involved in motion The subject](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081621/612526334b7cd40ab27e84dd/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
A mechanism is a combination of rigid or restraining bodies so
shaped and connected that they move upon each other with a definite
relative motion.
A machine is a mechanism or collection of mechanisms which
transmits force from the source of power to the resistance(load) to be
overcome.
When the objective is only to transfer and transform motion without
any consideration of forces involved, it is a mechanism. On the other
hand, if the objective is to transfer mechanical energy only, it is a
machine.

KINEMATIC INVERSIONS
The process of obtaining different mechanisms by fixing
different links of the same kinematic chain is called kinematic
inversion.
Note that inversion does not change relative
motions between the links
