| Abstract |
Quasi-static motions of a two-member linkage are considered.
The links of the system have different lengths and are connected
by a joint. The mass of the linkage is concentrated in the particles
located at the free ends and at the joint, all particles having the
same mass. The linkage lies on a rough horizontal plane and is controlled
by the torque applied at the joint. In any state of the linkage,
the torque is chosen so as to satisfy equilibrium equations for each
of the links.
The slow motion of the linkage corresponding to such a control
is described. It is shown that if the length of the longer
link is less than two times the length of the shorter link,
then the quasi-static motion of the system from
the unfolded configuration to the folded one involves three
phases, with one, two, and three vertices (particles) moving.
If the ratio of lengths of these links exceeds two, the phase
with three moving links does not occur. |
