Hello every1...
I'm a mechanical enggineering student...
I've been studying theory of Machines...
My academic syllabus includes only "Simple Mechanisms"...
Now in Simple Mechanisms...the first thing we get to know is a "Kinematic Link"...
Definition of a Kinematic Link:-it is a rigid or resistant body having relative motion with respect to other link/elements of the machine/mechanism
But I just don't get how a belt in a belt drive[and chain in a chain drive ] is link...
because if I stand on a single part of a chain I'll find the other parts moving[except for the ones in a straight line moving in a particular direction]...and these individual parts of the chain together form a chain[same should apply for belt drive...with a very large number of individual parts..I think]
Moreover I also don't get how Belt-pulley forms a higher pair...
Lastly is it a part of "Complex Mechanisms"...
Plz help me ...
any ideas on this are welcome...
Thanxxxx
