Types of joints :
If two links are joint at the same connection it is known as a binary joint.
Ternary joint :
If three links are joint at a connection it is known as a ternary joint.
It is considered equivalent to the two binary joints since fixing of anyone link constitute two binary joints with each of the other two links.
Quaternary joint :
If four links are joint at a connection it is known as a quaternary joint.
It is considered equivalent to three binary joints since fixing of anyone link constitutes three binary joints.
If n number of links are connected at a joint, it is equivalent to ( n -1 ) binary joints.
