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.
