Abstract

Papers on the dynamics of an absolutely rigid body with a fixed point generally assume that the mechanical system has three degrees of freedom. This is the situation when the body is attached to a fixed base by a ball-and-socket joint. On engineering systems one often encounters rigid bodies attached to a base by a two-degrees-of-freedom joint, consisting of a fixed axis and a movable one, which are mutually perpendicular. Such systems have two degrees of freedom, but the set of kinematically possible motions is quite rich. Dynamic analysis of the motion of a rigid body with a two-degree hinge in a force field is an integral part of the description of the action of mechanical actions of robotic systems. In recent decades, an increasingly closed role in the dynamics of rigid body systems has been played by manipulation robots consisting of a sequential chain of rigid links and controlled by means of torque drives in articulated joints. The same class of objects can be attributed to many biological systems that imitate, for example, the movements of a person or animal (walking, running, jumping). Two-link systems have a variety of practical applications and an almost equally wide range of areas of theoretical research. We note, in particular, the analysis of free and forced plane-parallel motion of a bundle of two rigid bodies connected by an ideal cylindrical hinge and simulating a composite satellite in outer space, a two-link manipulator, and an element of a crushing machine. The dynamic behavior of a rigid body in the gimbal suspension is a system, which can be interpreted as two-degree manipulator and used an element of more complex robotic structures. The linear mathematical model of two-link manipulator free oscillations with viscous friction in both its joints is a system, which reduces to the calculation scheme of double pendulum and allows the construction of exact analytical solution in the partial case. According to the research methodology, the proposed paper is close to works, where the motion by inertia of a plane two–rigid body hinged system was studied and devoted to the study of the motion of an absolutely rigid body on a power-to-power joint.
