  2. Mechanical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_joint

    A bolted joint is a mechanical joint which is the most popular choice for connecting two members together. It is easy to design and easy to procure parts for, making it a very popular design choice for many applications. Advantage: Joints are easily assembled/ disassembled by using a torque wrench or other fastener tooling. [7]

  3. Joining technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joining_technology

    The joining technology is used in any type of mechanical joint which is the arrangement formed by two or more elements: typically, two physical parts and a joining element. The mechanical joining systems make possible to form a set of several pieces using the individual parts and the corresponding joining elements.

  4. Degrees of freedom (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degrees_of_freedom_(mechanics)

    Joints that connect bodies in this system remove degrees of freedom and reduce mobility. Specifically, hinges and sliders each impose five constraints and therefore remove five degrees of freedom. It is convenient to define the number of constraints c that a joint imposes in terms of the joint's freedom f, where c = 6 − f.

  5. Physical restraint - Wikipedia

    Modern prison restraints including steel handcuffs and belly chains A full Medical Restraint System. Physical restraints are used: primarily by police and prison authorities to obstruct delinquents and prisoners from escaping or resisting [1] British Police officers are authorised to use leg and arm restraints, if they have been instructed in their use.

    The joint is then heated, typically by using a propane or MAPP gas torch, although electrically heated soldering tools are sometimes used. Once the fitting and pipe have reached sufficient temperature, solder is applied to the heated joint, and the molten solder is drawn into the joint by capillary action as the flux vaporizes. "Sweating" is a ...

  7. Revolute joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolute_joint

    A revolute joint (also called pin joint or hinge joint) is a one-degree-of-freedom kinematic pair used frequently in mechanisms and machines. [1] The joint constrains the motion of two bodies to pure rotation along a common axis. The joint does not allow translation, or sliding linear motion, a constraint not shown in the diagram. Almost all ...

  8. Kinematic coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinematic_coupling

    example of a Maxwell kinematic coupling. The principles of this coupling system were originally published by James Clerk Maxwell in 1871. [2] The Maxwell Kinematic system consists of three V-shaped grooves that are oriented to the center of the part, while the mating part has three curved surfaces that sit down into the three grooves. [1]

  9. Hoberman mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoberman_mechanism

    The mobility formula for a single degree of freedom M = 3(n – 1) – 2j, where M is the degrees of freedom, n is the number of moving elements, and j is the number of joints, predicts that a Hoberman mechanism of 12 bars and 18 joints would have −3 degrees of freedom.
