The Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion determines the number of degrees of freedom of a kinematic chain, that is, a coupling of rigid bodies by means of mechanical constraints. [1] These devices are also called linkages .
This linkage clearly consists of eight bars when the ground frame is counted as a bar. The Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion shows that an eight-bar linkage must have ten single degree-of-freedom joints, while the Peaucellier linkage appears to have only six hinged joints. This is resolved by noting that four of the hinged joints each ...
This is known as Kutzbach–Grübler's equation. There are two important special cases: (i) a simple open chain, and (ii) a simple closed chain. A simple open chain consists of n moving links connected end to end by j joints, with one end connected to a ground link. Thus, in this case N = j + 1 and the mobility of the chain is
Dimensioned drawing of a slider-crank (left) and its kinematic diagram (right).. In mechanical engineering, a kinematic diagram or kinematic scheme (also called a joint map or skeleton diagram) illustrates the connectivity of links and joints of a mechanism or machine rather than the dimensions or shape of the parts.
Velocity Time physics graph We can take Δ r {\displaystyle \Delta r} by adding the top area and the bottom area. The bottom area is a rectangle, and the area of a rectangle is the A ⋅ B {\displaystyle A\cdot B} where A {\displaystyle A} is the width and B {\displaystyle B} is the height.
The JPL mobile robot ATHLETE is a platform with six serial chain legs ending in wheels. The arms, fingers, and head of the JSC Robonaut are modeled as kinematic chains. The movement of the Boulton & Watt steam engine is studied as a system of rigid bodies connected by joints forming a kinematic chain.
An important consideration in this design process is the degree of freedom of the system of links and joints, which is determined using the Chebychev–Grübler–Kutzbach criterion. Planar mechanisms
Rigidity is the property of a structure that it does not bend or flex under an applied force. The opposite of rigidity is flexibility.In structural rigidity theory, structures are formed by collections of objects that are themselves rigid bodies, often assumed to take simple geometric forms such as straight rods (line segments), with pairs of objects connected by flexible hinges.
