Introduction to Mechanism NAME: Hardik Patel, Tirth Patel SUBJECT : KOM BRANCH : MECHANICAL (M-2) DEGREE ENROLLMENT NO: 141173119013, 141173119016 COLLAGE: NEOTECH INSTITUTE TECHNOLOGY VADODARA Guided By:- Ankit Joshi
Mechanism Mechanism consists of linkages and joints. Mechanism is an assembly of rigid elements (linkages) arranged and connected to form a closed kinematic chain with one link fixed in order to transmit motion in a predetermined fashion. Mechanism consists of linkages and joints. Machine is an arrangement of parts for doing work, and applying power . Structure is an assembly of parts for supporting loads.
Example of Mechanism Can crusher Simple press Rear-window wiper
