3. Kinematic Chain When the kinematic pairs are coupled in such a way that the last linked is joined the first link to transmit the definite motion it is called a kinematic chain.
To determine the given assemblage of links forms the kinematic chain or not: The two equations are: 1. l = 2p - 4 2. J = 3/2 * l - 2 l = number of links p = number of pairs j = number of joints
Three possible cases are 1. If L.H.S=R.H.S then it is Constrained kinematic chain 2. If L.H.S>R.H.S then it is Locked Chain 3. If L.H.S<R.H.S then it is Unconstrained kinematic chain

11. Mechanism When one of the links of a kinematic chain is fixed, the chain is known as mechanism. It may be used for transmitting or transforming motion. Example: Engine indicator, Typewriter.
THEORY OF MACHINE
Grashof's Law The sum of the length of shortest and longest link must be equal or less than the sum of the length of the other two link length, if there is to be a continuous relative motion between the two links.
According to Grashofs law
s+l<p+q
l = length of the longest link. s = length of the shortest link. p & q = length of the other two links In a four-bar linkage, we refer to the line segment between hinges on a given link as a bar where:
s = length of shortest bar l = length of longest bar p, q = lengths of intermediate bar
Grashof's theorem states that a four-bar mechanism has at least one revolving link if
s + l <= p + q
(1) and all three mobile links will rock if
s+l>p+q
(2)
The inequality (1) is Grashof's criteria The Link opposite to the frame is called Coupler Link and the link which are hinged to the frame are called side link. The link which is free to rotate through 3600 with respect to second link will be said to revolve relative to the second link (not necessarily a frame).
THEORY OF MACHINE
If it is possible for all four bar to become simultaneously aligned, such a state is called change point. Case Criterion Shortest link Category
s+l < p+q
frame
double crank
s+l < p+q
slide
crank rocker
s+l < p+q
coupler
double rocker
s+l = p+q
any
change point
s+l < p+q
any
triple rocker
From the table we can see that for a mechanism to have a crank, the sum of the length of shortest and longest link must be equal or less than the sum of the length of the other two link. However this condition is necessary but not sufficient. Mechanism satisfying this condition falls into following three categories.
1) When the shortest link is the side link, the mechanism is crank rocker mechanism. The shortest link is the CRANK in the mechanism.
2) When the shortest link is the Frame, the mechanism is double crank mechanism.
3) When the shortest link is the coupler link, the mechanism is Double rocker mechanism

It further rotates the flange (link 3) at the same angle through which the flange (link 1) is rotated. Hence link 1,3,4, have same angular velocity. 6. A little consideration there is a sliding motion between link 4 and link 1 and 3.
THEORY OF MACHINE
COMMON MECHANISM
1. BICYCLE FREE WHEEL SPROCKET MECHANISM 2. GENEVA MECHANISM 3. ACKERMANS STEERING GEAR MECHANISM 4. FOOT OPERATED AIR PUMP MECHANISM
THEORY OF MACHINE
1. BICYCLE FREE WHEEL SPROCKET MECHANISM 1. Mechanical or automotive engineering, a freewheel or overrunning clutch is a device in a transmission that disengages the driveshaft from the driven shaft when the driven shaft rotates faster than the driveshaft. An overdrive is sometimes mistakenly called a freewheel, but is otherwise unrelated. 2. The condition of a driven shaft spinning faster than its driveshaft exists in most bicycles when the rider holds his or her feet still, no longer pushing the pedals. Without a freewheel the rear wheel would drive the pedals around.
Figure: Bicycle Free Wheel Sprocket Mechanism
THEORY OF MACHINE
3. In the past, such freewheel mechanisms have included an inner freewheel body which engages threads on a rear wheel hub, and an outer freewheel body, including an integral sprocket for engagement with the roller chain. 4. A pair of pawls, and at least one pawl spring have been disposed between said inner and outer freewheel bodies, whereby forward rotation of the outer freewheel body would cause the pawls to engage and drive the inner freewheel body and rear wheel. Also, the pawls would allow the rear wheel to rotate in a forward direction when the outer freewheel body was rotating more slowly or was stopped.
THEORY OF MACHINE
2. GENEVA MECHANISM 1) In the mechanism shown in figure, link A is driver and it contains a pin which engages with the slots in the driven link B. 2) The slots are positioned in such a manner, that the pin enters and leaves them tangentially avoiding impact loading during transmission of motion.
Figure: Geneva mechanism
3) In the mechanism shown, the driven member makes one-fourth of a revolution for each revolution of the driver. 4) The locking plate, which is mounted on the driver, prevents the driven member from rotating except during the indexing period.
THEORY OF MACHINE
5. The Geneva mechanism is a timing device. 6. Geneva mechanism consists of a rotating disk with a pin and another rotating disk with slots (usually four) into which the pin slides 7. In the most common arrangement, the driven wheel has four slots and thus advances for each rotation of the drive wheel by one step of 90. If the driven wheel has n slots, it advances by 360/n per full rotation of the drive wheel.
Figure: Geneva mechanism
8.
One application of the Geneva drive is in movie projectors. Geneva wheels having the form of the driven wheel were also used in mechanical watches. Other applications of the Geneva drive include the pen change mechanism in plotters, automated sampling devices, indexing tables in assembly lines, tool changers for CNC machines, and so on.
THEORY OF MACHINE
3. Ackermans Steering Gear Mechanism. 1) The steering gear mechanism is used for changing the direction of two or more of the wheel axles with reference to the chassis, so as to move the automobile in any desired path. 2) When the vehicle takes a turn the front wheels along with the respective axles turn about the respective pivoted points. The back wheels remain straight and do not turn. Therefore steering is done by front wheels only. 3) In order to avoid skidding the two front wheels must turn about the same Instantaneous center I which lies on the axis of the back axle. If the ICR of the two front wheels do not coincide with the ICR of the back wheels skidding will take place, which causes wear and tear of tires. 4) Thus the condition for correct steering is that the entire four wheel must turn about the same ICR. The axis of the inner wheel makes a larger turning angle than the angle subtended by the axis of outer wheel. Let a= wheel track b=wheel base c=distance between the pivots A and b of the front axle Now from triangle IBP Cot =BP IP and from triangle IAP Cot = AP = AB + BP = AB + BP = c + Cot IP IP IP IP b
Cot - Cot =c/b
THEORY OF MACHINE
5) This is the fundamental equation for correct steering. If this condition is satisfied there will be no skidding of the wheels when vehicle takes a turn.
Figure: Ackermans Steering gear Mechanism.
6)
In Ackerman steering gear the mechanism ABCD is a four bar crank chain. The shorter link BC and AD are of equal length and are connected by hinge joints with front wheel axle.The longer link AB and CD are of unequal length.
THEORY OF MACHINE
7) The following are three positions for correct steering a. When vehicle moves along a straight path, the longer link AB and CD are parallel and shorter link BC and AD are equally inclined to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. b. When the vehicle is steering to the left, the position of the gear as shown by dotted lines. In this position the lines of the front wheel axle intersect on the back wheel axle at I for correct steering. c. When the vehicle is steering to the right the similar position may be obtained.
THEORY OF MACHINE
4. Foot operated Air Pump Mechanism. 1) It consists of a cylinder which can oscillate. A piston is mounted in the cylinder. The cylinder is connected to the foot rest. 2) The arms connected to the foot rest can oscillate.
Figure: Foot Operated Air Pump Mechanism
3) A retrieving spring can bring back the foot rest back to initial positions the foot rest is pressed the cylinder oscillates. 4) It creates reciprocating motion of the piston in the cylinder. Therefore suction and delivery stroke can be obtained. This is also called as oscillating cylinder mechanism.
