That's a great approach for this problem. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your reply. You mean I have to derive the EOM first, after that consider theta-dot < 0 for impact conditions ?! How is it possible to combine this constraint using Lagrangian method ( Or even Lagrangian multiplier method for constraints) ?

First of all thank you for your help. you asked about the way I have solved the equation of motion. I firstly derived the non-linear EOM (Equation Of Motion) and then using numerical methods (like runge-kutta method), got the results and time response (Theta Vs. Time). finally using mathematical...

Hi guys! I have a question on applying constraint on Linkage systems. Assumed that there is a two dimensional one-bar linkage, one end can only rotate and one end is free (Such as the figure above, please neglect the damper-spring system if you want). This link can rotate only 180 degrees, not...

Hi there ! I'm a rookie here and looking for a great discussion. I am also studying mechanical engineering and there are variety of subjects that I intend to ask them in this forum to promote my knowledge. Thank you all.:)
