Mechanisms and Machines
Mechanism: A combination interconnected rigid bodies capable of
relative motion. Eg: Slider Crank Mechanism.
A More precise definition will be given later.
Machine: Is a mechanism or collection of mechanisms that
transmits motion and force from the source to the load.
Machine or Mechanism:
Mechanism: Primary objective is to transfer and transform motion.
Machine: Primary objective is transferring mechanical energy.
Every machine is a mechanism.

Outline
A framework to handle all the varied mechanisms is the subject of
KDOM
Two Aspects to design of a mechanical system:
The geometrical aspects of motion
Various forces involved in motion
The study of only the geometrical aspects of motion without any
considerations of the forces involved or inertia is referred to as
KINEMATICS
When inertia and forces are also considered:
DYNAMICS/KINETICS

Theory of Mechanisms and Machines
OBJECTIVES:
Provide the necessary tools to systematically synthesize a system
(i.e to arrive at the critical shapes and dimensions of the bodies
constituting the system)
Synthesis followed by analysis (kinematic and dynamic analysis)
to evaluate performance
Iterative Process
Optimal Synthesis
The design of a mechanism to satisfy certain prescribed kinematic
specifications is generally termed kinematic synthesis. Eg: Design a
cam profile to generate a prescribed motion of the follower.
