Structural Influence on Velocity and Acceleration Characteristics of Closed Kinematic Chains and Inversions

This paper introduces the concepts of “Kinematic Moment” and “ Kinematic inertia” to study  the structure based velocity and acceleration characteristics respectively of kinematics chains in a comparative sense. Example problems are included. Keywords:  Kinematic moment: Kinematic Inertia, Kinematic Chains, Velocities, Accelerations.
