PROBLEM 2-10

Statement: Use linkage transformation on the linkage of Figure P2-1d to make it a 2-DOF mechanism.

Solution: See Figure P2-1d and Mathcad file P0210.

1. The mechanism in Figure P2-1d has mobility: 7 1

Number of links L
7
Number of full joints J1 
7
6
Number of half joints J2 
1 5

1
M
 3
( L 1) 2 
J1 J 2 2
3 4
M 3

2. Use rule 3, which states: "Removal of a link will reduce the DOF by one." One way to do this is to remove link
7 such that link 6 pivots on the fixed pin attached to the ground link (1). We now have mobility:

Number of links L
6
1
Number of full joints J1 
6
6
Number of half joints J2 
1 5

M
 3
( L 1) 2 
J1 J 2 1 2
3 4
M 2
