    Kinematic
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on creating a kinematic scheme for a complex structure, specifically addressing how to represent joints, particularly sliding ones. The original poster seeks guidance on simplifying a 3D diagram into an abstract representation using special symbols. Participants express confusion about the term "kinematic scheme" and inquire about the ultimate goal of the representation. The conversation highlights the challenge of translating a detailed diagram into a more abstract format while maintaining clarity. Overall, the thread emphasizes the need for clear symbols and definitions in kinematic representations.

I am not sure if I'm in the right section to post this, but I'm going to try anyway...

Could anybody please show me how to sketch a kinematc scheme of this structure? I don't know how to represent the joints (especially the sliding ones).

Thank you.

The diagram looks challenging. I'd like to help but I don't know what you mean by a kinematic scheme. What's your ultimate goal? To get an equation for the position/orientation of reference frame six as a function of the position/orientation of all the other reference frames?

My goal is to represent that machine replacing its parts with special symbols (basically I have to draw its simplified representation), and it seems easier, now that I found out it can be 3-D.
 
You already have a diagram in 3D. You want to replace that nice diagram with something more abstract? Do you have a symbol set in mind?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
