Method of transmission matrix for investigating planar relative motions

Abstract

In the paper [2] the method of transmission matrix applying for the case of a loop with turning pairs investigated. In the present paper the kinematics of a loop connected by composite joints, i.e. the one of revolute-translational joints are discussed now. By means of proposed method the planar motion of rigid bodies is presented by a point of general view.

Especially, the introduced method allows to apply effectively universal software, for example, MATCAD, MAPLE, ... for investigating complex mechanical systems.
