Abstract
Subject of this chapter are relationships between positions of a plane Σ in a reference plane Σ 0. Motions leading from one position to another are not considered. Displacements in a plane are translation, rotation, reflection and resultants of these three. All of them are special cases of the spatial displacements investigated in Chaps. 1 and 3. Consequently, theorems governing the latter remain valid, normally in simplified form. In addition, special theorems exist which are valid for planar displacements only.
