Introduction

● A mechanism is an interaction of rigid parts which are linked by joints in

order to transmit, control, constrain, or translate motion and/or force from
one part to another.
● The Conceptual design of mechanisms was an art, based primarily on the
experience of the designer.
● Design Specifications for the conceptual design of mechanisms are parsed
into three coherent categories: functional requirements, structural
requirements, and de- sign constraints.
