Abstract
A machine (from Latin machina), within the broad concept used in this text, is a set of parts or fixed and mobile elements which operation permits to use, direct, regulate, or transform energy. Machines consist of sets of mechanisms of a greater or lesser degree of complexity, which together present a single degree of freedom, so that machine operation is uniquely determined by a resulting action.
