Types of Constrained Motions
Motion Type | Description |
---|---|
Completely constrained motion | When the motion between a pair is limited to a definite direction irrespective of the direction of force applied, then the motion is said to be a completely constrained motion. |
Incompletely constrained motion | When the motion between a pair can take place in more than one direction, then the motion is called an incompletely constrained motion. |
Successfully constrained motion | When the motion between the elements, forming a pair, is such that the constrained motion is not completed by itself, but by some other means, then the motion is said to be successfully constrained motion. |
