Theoretical analysis of the dynamical motion of a spatial system of rigid bodies for the homokinetic transmission of the motion between angled shafts

Summary This piece of research deals with a general theory for the dynamical analysis of a particular system of rigid bodies capable of transmitting torque and motion between two angled shafts without alteration of the rotary motion at variable relative position of the axes of the shafts. The study, based on an equivalent mechanical model, leads to a system of four non-linear equations of the first order which, by numerical integration at given initial conditions, describes the dynamical behaviour of the system.

Sommario Il presente lavoro studia una teoria generale per l'analisi dinamica di particolari sistemi spaziali di molti corpi rigidi per la trasmissione omocinetica di moto e di coppia fra due alberi angolati. Lo studio si basa su un modello meccanico equivalente, proposto nel presente lavoro, e perviene ad una equazione differenziale non-lineare in quattro variabili indipendenti che, opportunamente integrata a date condizioni iniziali, descrive il comportamento dinamico del sistema.
