Article 2/9 Constrained Motion of Connected P: 2/9 _ConsreaineD Motion of Connecten Parictes Sometimes the motions of particles are interrelated because of the constraints imposed by interconnecting members. In such cases it is necessary to account for these constraints in order to determine the re- spective motions of the particles, One Degree of Freedom Consider first the very simple system of two interconnected parti- cles A and B shown in Fig. 2/19, It should be quite evident by inspec- tion that the horizontal motion of A is twice the vertical motion of B. "Nevertheless we will use this example to illustrate the method of analy. sis which applies to more complex situations where the results eannot 'be easily obtained by inspection, The motion of B is clearly the same as that of the center ofits pulley, so we establish position coordinates y ‘and x measured from a convenient fixed datum. The total length of the cable is Laxt ety tan tb With L, ra, ni, and 6 all constant, the first and second time derivatives of the equation give O=8+2) or Oe mH 2p or Oa, +20y ‘The velocity and acceleration constraint equations indicate that, for the coordinates selected, the velocity of A must have a sign which is op- posite to that of the velocity of B, and similarly for the accelerations. ‘The constraint equations are valid for the motion of the system in either direction, We emphasize that v, = # is postive tothe let and that vp = § is positive down. ‘Because the results do not depend on the lengths or pulley radii, we should be able to analyze the motion without considering them. In the lower-let portion of Fig. 2/19 is shown an enlarged view of the horizon- tal diameter A’B'C’ of the lower pulley at an instant of time. Clearly, A’ and A have the same motion magnitudes, as do B and B’. During an infinitesimal motion of A’, it is easy to see from the triangle that B” moves half as far as A’ because point C as a point on the fixed portion of the cable momentarily has no motion. Thus, with differentiation by ‘time in mind, we can obtain the velocity and acceleration magnitude re~ lationships by inspection. The pulley, in effect, is a wheel which rolls on the fixed vertical cable. (The kinematics of a rolling wheel will be treated more extensively in Chapter 5 on rigid-body motion.) The sys tem of Fig, 2/19 is said to have one degree of freedom since only one variable, either x or y, is needed to specify the positions of all parts of the system. Figure 2/18, Figure 2/20, ‘Two Degrees of Freedom ‘The system with two degrees of freedom is shown in Fig, 220, Here the positions of the lower eylinder and pulley C depend on the separate specifications of the two coordinates y, and yp. The lengths of the cables attached to eylinders A and B can he written, respectively, as ya + 2yp + constant 1» +¥e + Yo ~ Yp) + constant and their time derivatives are and 0= 5p + Be ~5 OnF,+ 2p and O= Fn + Be Fi Eliminating the torms in jp and Jp gives Sat Ber Mo=0 or ug + Buy t+ dve Fat Bin + 45 0 or a4 + 20y + day tis clearly impossible for the signs of all three terms to be positive si- ‘multaneously. So, for example, if both A and B have downward (posi tive) velocities, then C will have an upward (negative) velocity, ‘These results can also be found by inspection of the motions of the ‘wo pulleys at C and D. For an increment dy (with yp held fixed), the center of D moves up an amount dyj/2, which causes an upward move- ment dy,/4 of the center of C. For an inerement dyy (with 4 held fixed), the center of C moves up a distance dyp/2. A combination of the two ‘movements gives an upward movement dyn, an wdye = so that ve = us/4 + vp/2 as before. Visualization of the actual geometry of the motion is an important ability, A second type of constraint where the direetion of the connecting ‘member changes with the motion is illustrated in the second of the two sample problems whieh follow.
