Abstract
The chapter presents rigid dynamics of single-DOF mechanical systems. It starts with a brief description of machine-speed characteristics during the three stages and continues with the analysis of the common types of forces encountered in machinery. Expanding the analysis to include the driver into the mechanical systems, general treatments of the characteristic curves of electronic motors are presented. Lagrange's equation is introduced for the derivation of the governing equation of dynamics of single-DOF mechanical systems. Several methods, including both analytic and numerical methods, to solve the equation are presented, as well. In the last section, flywheels are introduced for smoothening the operation speed of machines. In particular, a special type of mini flywheel that can completely eliminate speed fluctuation is presented.
