Kinematics is the branch of science which deals with motion without considering the forces causing the motion while kinetics is the branch of science which also takes forces which causes motion as well as weight and inertia effects in study.
Kinematic Chain
Kinematic chain is one in which number of links are so connected that relative motion of any point on a link with respect to any other point on the other link follows a law L = 2/3(J+2) Where, L = Number of links, J = Number of Joints or J = 3/2(L)-2, Where, H = Number of Higher pairs One Higher pair = Two lower pair
J+H/2 = 3/2(L)-2, Where, H = Number of Higher pairs and J =Number of binary joints in chain If R.H.S. = L.H.S. , Chain is said to be locked.
Mechanism
If the one of the link of constrained kinematic chain is fixed, it results into 'Mechanism' A mechanism with four links is called simple mechanism. Mechanism with single degree of freedom are having only even number of links. Real life example is automobile propelling system which contains links in form of piston, connecting rod and cranks shaft to which flywheel and rear tire is attached.
Mechanism should follow Grashoff's law Grashoff's Law The sum of lengths of shortest and longest link should not be greater than the sum of the remaining link lengths if there is to be continuous relative motion between the links
