Kinematics of Mechanisms - Theory of Machines

Structure an assemblage of number of resistant bodies having no relative motion between them.

STRUCTURE

• Structure an assemblage of number of resistant bodies having no relative motion between them.

• They are meant for carrying loads having straining action.

• The resistant bodies which constitute a structure are known as its members. Fig. 1.5 shows sample structure having three members 1, 2 and 3.


• No relative motion is possible between these members. However due to applied forces or loads, the structure is subjected to straining action.

• Practical examples: Roof trusses, bridges, buildings, machine frames, etc.

1. Machine Vs Structure

• Machine is an assemblage of links or mechanisms which are used to transmit both the required motion and forces.

• The comparison between machine and structure is given in Table 1.2.
