Instantaneous centre instant centre of rotation, also Method calledinstantaneous centreandinstant

centre,is the point in a body undergoing planar movement that has zero velocity at a particular instant of time. At this instant the velocity vectors of the trajectories of other points in the body generate a circular field around this point, which is identical to what is generated by a pure rotation.

Instantaneous centre is obtained by joining the perpendicular bisectors of the chord AA1 and BB1 Simply we can say instantaneous centre or virtual centre is a point about which body has pure rolling motion

Pankaj

Theory Of

the instantaneous centre is a point in the body which may be considered fixed at any particular moment. The locus of the instantaneous centre in space during a definite motion of the body is called the space centrode and the locus of the instantaneous centre relative to the body itself is called the body centrode.

The Aronhold Kennedys theorem states that if three bodies move relatively to each other, they have three instantaneous centres and lie on a straight line.
