# Freedom and Constraints
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A body that is free in space can move in three, independent perpendicular directions and rotation
|
||||||
|
in three ways about those directions.
|
||||||
|
It is said to have 6 degrees of freedom (DoF).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The number of degrees of freedom are the number of components of motion that are required in order
|
||||||
|
to generate the motion.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If a joint is constrained to move along a line, it has 1 degree of freedom.
|
||||||
|
If a joint is constrained to a plane with no rotation then it has two degrees of freedom.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Gruebler's Equation of Degrees of Freedom
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$M = 3L - 2J - 3G$$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
where $M$ is degrees of freedom, $L$ is number of links, $J$ is number of joints, and $G$ is number
|
||||||
|
of grounded links.

|
||||||
|
- if DoF > 0, it is a mechanism with relative motions
|
||||||
|
- if DoF = 0, it is a structure without motion
|
||||||
|
- if DoF < 0, it is a preloaded (or overly constrained) structure without motion but possibly
|
||||||
|
additional stress

## Grashof Condition
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Four bar linkage is the simplest possible pin-jointed mechanism.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Grashof condition is a simple relationship that predicts the linkage behaviour based only on
|
||||||
|
the lengths of the links.
|
||||||
|
A linkage is a Grashof linkage if at least one link is capable of making a full revolution and
|
||||||
|
the following equation holds true:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$S + L < P + Q$$
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
where
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- $S$ is the length of shortest link
|
||||||
|
- $L$ is the length of longest link
|
||||||
|
- $P$ is the length of one remaining link
|
||||||
|
- $Q$ is the length of other remaining link
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Triple Rockers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If $S + L > P + Q$ then it is not a Grashof linkage and is known as a triple rocker.

### Double Cranks / Crank Rockers
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
$$S + L = P + Q$$

|
## Limit Conditions
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Toggle is an important test to check if the linkage can reach all specified positions without
|
||||||
|
encountering a limit or toggle position, also called a station configuration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Toggle positions may be determined by collinearity of two links

||||||

||||||
|
## Transmission Angle
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Transmission angle, $\mu$, is the angle between the output link and the coupler.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is a useful test to check the quality of the force transmission in a linkage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ideally $\mu = 90$ deg but at minimum $\mu \ge 40$ deg.
