Problem Set

This document contains 6 problems from a mechanical design and production course assignment on kinematics of mechanisms and robotics. The problems ask students to draw kinematic diagrams of mechanisms shown in figures and calculate their degrees of freedom, as well as calculate the Grashof condition for sample four-bar mechanisms.

Problem 1: How many DOF do the following joints have? Your knee, ankle, shoulder, hip, knuckle.

Problem 2: A pair of bolt cutters is shown in the


following Figure 1. Draw a kinematic diagram of
this mechanism, selecting the lower handle as the
frame. The end of the upper handle and the cutting
surface of the jaws should be identified as points of
interest. Calculate the degree of freedom of this
mechanism.
