Slider Crank Mechanism
Structure and Mechanism
A structure is also a combination of resistant (rigid) bodies, but its purpose is
to make the system rigid
No internal mobility
No relative motions between the members
Structure Mechanism

PHI, 4th ed. Dynamics of machines, McGraw-Hill, 2nd ed.
Characteristics of a Mechanism
Mechanical systems
A set of interconnected bodies
Used to transmit and transform motion
Links or members, assumed rigid
Joints or kinematic pairs
Constrained relative motion
Analogy Between Different Terms
