A NUMERICAL METHOD USED FOR KINEMATIC SURVEY OF A COMPLEX MECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH TWO ROTATING RIGID SOLIDS AND TWO RIGID SOLIDS IN TRANSLATIONAL MOTION

Abstract

The paper presents a numerical method used for kinematical survey of a complex mechanical systemconsisting of four rigid solids of which two perform a rotational motion and the other two rigid solids intranslational motion. The rigid solids performing a rotational motion are connected to the frame by a joint andthe rigid solids performing a translational motion are connected to the frame by slides. The rigid solids areinterconnected by rigid solids rods. The motion of this mechanical system presents a peculiarity namely that thesystem is blocking at a certain moment
