Abstract
Spatial motion of mechanical systems consisting of jointed rigid bodies is considered. The methods previously developed to solve the dynamic equations of “carrier + loads” systems analytically for the accelerations of individual bodies are used to obtain the equations of motion of systems with complicated branched structure. The following practically important cases are analyzed: (i) a central carrier with peripheral loaded carriers and (ii) a chain and a ring consisting of loaded carriers. Numerical results are given for the stress-strain state of an elastic spacecraft represented as a chain of rigid bodies connected by elastic joints.
