1.1 ANALYSIS AND SYSTHESIS
Analysis: the techniques that allow thedesigner to critically examine an alreadyexisting or proposed design in order tojudge its suitability for task.
Synthesis (or Design): the process ofprescribing the sizes, shapes, materialcompositions, and arrangements of partsso that the resulting machine will performthe prescribed task.

1.5 THE SCIENCE OF MECHANICS
Statics: deals with analysis of stationarysystems, that is, those in which time isnot a factor.
Dynamics: deals with systems that changewith time.
Kinematics: the study of motion, quiteapart from the forces which produce thatmotion. More particularly kinematics isthe study of position, displacementrotation, speed, velocity, and acceleration.
Kinetics: the study of force on system inmotion.

1.5 THE SCIENCE OF MECHANICS
Reuleaux’ Definition:
Machine: a combination of resistant bodies soarranged that their means the mechanical forcesof nature can be compelled to do workaccompanied by certain determinate motion.
Mechanism: an assemblage of resistant bodies,connected by movable joints, to form a closedkinematic chain with one link fixed and havingthe purpose of transforming motion.
Structure: also a combination of resistant bodiesconnected by joints, but its purpose is not to dwork or to transform motion. A structure isintended to be rigid.

1.6 DEGREE OF FREEDOM (DOF) OR MOBILITY
A mechanical system’s mobility (M) can beclassified according to the number of degrees offreedom (DOF) that it possesses. The system’sDOF is equal to the number of independentparameters (measurements) that are neededuniquely define its position in space and at anyinstant of time.
This system of the pencil in the plane has threeDOF
The pencil in the this example represents a rigidbody, or link, which for purposes of kinematicsanalysis we will assume to be incapable ofdeformation.

1.7 LINKS, JONTS AND KINEMATIC CHAINS
Linkages are the basic building blocks ofall mechanisms. A linkage consist of links(or bars), generally considered rigid,which are connected by joints, such aspins (or revolutes), or prismatic joints toform open or closed chains (or loops).Such kinematic chains, with at least onelink fixed, become (1) mechanisms if atleast two other links retain mobility, or(2) structures if no mobility remains.

1.7 LINKS, JONTS AND KINEMATIC CHAINS
A joint is an connection between two ormore links (at their nodes), which allowssome motion, or potential motion,between the connected links. Joints (alsocalled kinematic pairs) can be classified inseveral ways:
1. By the type of contact between the elements,line, point or surface.
2. By the number of degrees of freedom allowedat the joint.
3. By the type of physical closure of the joint:either force or form closed.
4. By the number of links joined (order of thejoint).

Gruebler’s equation
DOF or M = 3L – 2J – 3G
Where:
M=degree of freedom or mobility
L= number of links
J=number of joints
G=number of grounded links (always 1)
M = 3(L - 1) – 2J

1.11 MECHANISMS AND STRUCTURES
If the DOF is positive, it will be a mechanism, andthe links will have relative motion. If the DOF isexactly zero, then it will be a structure, and nomotion is possible. If the DOF is negative, then it isa preloaded structure, which means that no motionis possible and some stresses may also be presentat the time of assembly.

INVERSION
An inversion is created by grounding adifferent link in the kinematic chain. Thusthere are as many inversions of a givenlinkage as it has links.

THE GRASHOF CONDITION
The four bar linkage, shown in previousslide, is a basic mechanism which is quitecommon. Further, the vast majority ofplanar one degree-of-freedom (DOF)mechanisms have "equivalent" four barmechanisms. The four bar has tworotating links ("levers") which have fixedpivots, (bodies 2 and 4 above). One of thelevers would be an input rotation, whilethe other would be the output rotation.The two levers have their fixed pivots withthe "ground link"(body 1) and areconnected by the "coupler link" (body 3).

THE GRASHOF CONDITION - Definitions
Crank- a ground pivoted link which iscontinuously rotatable.
Rocker- a ground pivoted link that is onlycapable of oscillating between two limitpositions and cannot rotate continuously.

THE GRASHOF CONDITION - Definitions
Grashof Condition- is a very simplerelationship which predicts the rotationbehavior or rotability of a fourbarlinkage's inversions based only on the linklengths
Let:
S=length of shortest link
L=length of longest link
P=length of one remaining link
Q=length of other remaining link
Then if: S+L<=P+Q

THE GRASHOF CONDITION
The linkage is Grashof and at least onelink will be capable of making a fullrevolution with respect to the groundplane. This is called a Class I kinematicchain.
If the inequality is not true, then thelinkage is non-Grashof and no link will becapable of a complete revolution relativeto any other link. This is a Class IIkinematic chain.
The order of the assemble in thekinematic chain in S, L, P, Q, or S, P, L, Qor any other order, will not change theGrashof condition.

THE GRASHOF CONDITION
The motions possible from a fourbarlinkage will depend on both the Grashofcondition and the inversion chosen. Theinversions will be defined with respect tothe shortest link. The motions are:
For the Class I case, S + L < P + Q:
Ground either link adjacent to theshortest and you get a crank-rocker, inwhich the shortest link will fully rotateand the other link pivoted to groundwill oscillate.

THE GRASHOF CONDITION
Ground the shortest link and you willget a double-crank, in which both linkspivoted to ground make completeevolutions as does the coupler.
Ground the link opposite the shortestand you will get a Grashof double-rocker, in which both links pivoted toground oscillate and only the couplermakes a full revolution.

For the Class II case, S + L > P + Q:
