MER312: Dynamics of Mechanisms 6
• Machines: A combination of resistant bodies so arranged
that by their means the mechanical forces of the nature
can be compelled to do work accompanied by certain
determinate motions.
• MECHANISMS: An assemblage of resistant bodies,
connected by movable joints, to form a closed kinematic
chain with one link fixed and having the purpose of
transforming motion.
• Structures: An assemblage of resistant bodies
connected by joints (or not) that do no work, and do not
transfer motion. It is intended to be rigid.

Mechanisms are Synthesized to
Produce Various Types of Motion
MER312: Dynamics of Mechanisms 8
PLANAR MOTION: All motion contained to one
geometric Plane or Parallel Planes.
TRANSLATION
ROTATION
COMBINATION
• Rectilinear Translation: All Points of
the body move in parallel straight
line paths.
• Rotation: Each point the body
remains a constant distance from a
fixed axis that is perpendicular to
the plane of motion.
• Rotation and Translation:
Combination of the above two.

Non-Planar Motion Can Also
Be Generated By Mechanisms
MER312: Dynamics of Mechanisms 10
• Helical Motion: each point of the body has motion
of rotation about a fixed axis and at the same time
has translation parallel to the axis.
• Spherical Motion: each point of the body has
motion about a fixed point while remaining at a
constant distance from it.
• Spatial Motion: the body moves with rotations
about three non-parallel axes and translates in
three independent directions.

Cycle, Period,
and Phase of Motion
MER312: Dynamics of Mechanisms 11
• Cycle: When the parts of a
mechanism have passed through
all the possible positions they can
assume after starting from some
simultaneous set of relative
positions and have returned to
their original relative positions.
• Period: The time required for a
cycle of motion.
• Phase: The simultaneous relative
position of a mechanism at a
given instant during a cycle.
