Trajectories and Laws of Motion for a Mechanism with Two Leading Elements and Two RRP Dyads

Abstract:

The paper deals with the trajectories and lows of motion of a mechanism of type T-RRP that was buil by using the properties of Cardano circles. It has two slides moving along the axis of the system xOy. A second leading element and another T-RRP dyad were added to this mechanism, the resulting mechanism, of type T-RRP-R-RRP. The trajectories of three points of interest were determined, for various (linear) correlations between the movements of the leading elements. The obtained trajectories are similar, but not identical, to the loops of epicycloides, wrapping ellipses. The generated laws of movement were also determined, variable oscillations of the final slide being obtained.
