Ken Youssefi Mechanical Engineering Dept. 2 Mechanism Machines are mechanical devices used to accomplish work. A mechanism is a heart of a machine. It is the mechanical portion of the machine that has the function of transferring motion and forces from a power source to an output. Mechanism is a system of rigid elements (linkages) arranged and connected to transmit motion and/or force in a predetermined fashion. Mechanism consists of linkages (rigid bars, gears, belts & pulleys, chains & sprockets and cams) and joints.

Mechanism Synthesis and Analysis Synthesis – design a mechanism to perform a desired function Analysis – given a mechanism, perform kinematics and kinetics analysis Graphical techniques Analytical methods
