A NUMERICAL METHOD USED FOR KINEMATIC SURVEY OF A COMPLEX MECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH FOUR ROTATING RIGID SOLIDS

Abstract

The paper presents a numerical method used for kinematical study of a complex mechanical systemconsisting of four rigid solids, each one of them performing a rotating motion around an axis passing through afixed point. Each of the four solid rigid is connected to the frame by a joint. The four solid rigid are connected bythree rigid rods. The movement of this mechanical system presents a special appearance namely that during themotion the system freezes (is blocking) at a certain moment.
