Mobility
-
Definitions Mobility: the number of input parameters which
must be controlled independently in order to bring the device into a particular position (from Theory of Machines and Mechanisms 1995 by J.E. Shigley and J.J.Uicker)
Mobility (of a mechanism): the minimum number of
coordinates needed to specify the positions of all members of the mechanism relative to a particular member chosen as the base or frame (from Kinematics, Dynamics and Design of Machinery 2004 by K.J. Waldron and G.L. Kinzel)
-
JOINTS (KINEMATIC PAIRS): Lower

-
JOINTS (KINEMATIC PAIRS): Higher (some)

SOME COMPOUND JOINTS (typically considered as lower pairs)

Kutzbach Criterion (mobility equation)
m=0 -> statically determinate structure
m statically indeterminate structure
m1 -> mechanism
Mechanisms the satisfy the mobility equation are referred to as properly constrained
But sometimes the results are incorrect
Overconstrained mechanisms: mobility equation
underestimates the true mobility; usually giving
negative values (as in case of 4-bar linkage in 3-D)
Mechanisms with idle degrees of freedom: mobility equation overestimates the true mobility
(as in case of Stewart platform)
