AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the dynamics of a wheel-axle set, specifically the equations of motion and the rate of change of momentum. The user is struggling to find the correct equations in an older textbook and seeks clarification on the derivation of these equations. They provide transformation equations for coordinate axes and expressions for angular velocity and angular momentum in both body and inertial frames. The user highlights a discrepancy between their calculations and the textbook's equations for the rate of change of momentum, indicating they may be missing a key detail. The conversation emphasizes the complexity of deriving motion equations in dynamic systems.

Hello all,

I am currently studying dynamics of a wheel-axle set for my research. My problem is I could not find the same equation for the rate of the change of the momentum in the book, book is a little bit old and I could not find any errata about the book or any other references that explains the derivation of equations. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am trying to obtain the general wheel axle set equations of motion given in the 5th chapter of the book (all the equations and figures are taken from this book):

http://books.google.cz/books?id=TVenrrNeB4kC&printsec=frontcover&hl=tr&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false

I am giving the axes systems in the book used:

The first axes is used as fixed inertial reference frame. The second one is an intermediate frame rotated through an angle \psi about the z axis of the third axes system (which is attached to the mass center of wheelset) Transformation equations between coordinate axes given in the book:

<br /> \begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;}\\j^{&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}<br /> 1 &amp;0 &amp;0 \\ <br /> 0 &amp;cos\phi &amp;sin\phi \\ <br /> 0 &amp;-sin\phi &amp; cos\phi<br /> \end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;&#039;}\\j^{&#039;&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}<br />

<br /> \begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;&#039;}\\j^{&#039;&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}<br /> cos\psi &amp;sin\psi &amp;0 \\ <br /> -sin\psi &amp;cos\psi &amp;0 \\ <br /> 0 &amp;0 &amp; 1<br /> \end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;&#039;&#039;}\\j^{&#039;&#039;&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;&#039;&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}<br />

<br /> \begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;}\\j^{&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}<br /> cos\psi &amp;sin\psi &amp;0 \\ <br /> -cos\phi sin\psi &amp;cos\phi cos\psi &amp;0 \\ <br /> sin\phi sin\psi &amp;-sin\phi cos\psi &amp; 1<br /> \end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;&#039;&#039;}\\j^{&#039;&#039;&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;&#039;&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}<br />



for small \psi and \phi


<br /> \begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;}\\j^{&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}<br /> 1 &amp;\psi &amp;0 \\ <br /> -\psi &amp;1 &amp;0 \\ <br /> 0 &amp;-phi &amp; 1<br /> \end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}<br /> i^{&#039;&#039;&#039;}\\j^{&#039;&#039;&#039;} \\ k^{&#039;&#039;&#039;} <br /> \end{Bmatrix}<br />

The angular velocity \mathbf{\omega} of the axle wheelset is given by:

\mathbf{\omega}=\dot{\phi }i^{&#039;&#039;}+\left ( \Omega +\dot{\beta } \right )j^{&#039;}+\dot{\psi }k^{&#039;&#039;}​

The angular velocity \mathbf{\omega} expressed in body coordinate axis is given by:

\mathbf{\omega}=\dot{\phi }i^{&#039;}+\left ( \Omega +\dot{\beta }+\dot{\psi }sin\phi \right )j^{&#039;}+\dot{\psi }cos\phi k^{&#039;}

\mathbf{\omega}=\omega_{x}i^{&#039;}+\omega_{y}j^{&#039;}+\omega_{z}k^{&#039;}​

where \omega_{x}=\dot{\phi }, \omega_{y}=\left ( \Omega +\dot{\beta }+\dot{\psi }sin\phi \right ), \omega_{z}=\dot{\psi }cos\phi and the angular momentum of the wheel axle set in the body coordinate system

\mathbf{H}=I_{wx}\omega_{x}i^{&#039;}+I_{wy}\omega_{y}j^{&#039;}+I_{wz}\omega_{z}k^{&#039;}

please note that because of symmetry(principal mass moments) I_{wx}=I_{wz}.

Angular velocity of coordinate axes

ω_axis×H=(ψ ̇sinφI_wx ψ ̇cosφi^'-ψ ̇cosφI_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) i^' )+(φ ̇I_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) k^'-ψ ̇sinφI_wx φ ̇k^' )

\mathbf{\omega_{axis}}=\dot{\phi }i^{&#039;}+\dot{\psi }k^{&#039;&#039;}=\dot{\phi }i^{&#039;}+\dot{\psi }sin\phi j^{&#039;}+\dot{\psi }cos\phi k^{&#039;}

The rate of change of momentum is given as

\mathbf{dH/dt}=I_{wx}\dot{\omega_{x}}i^{&#039;}+I_{wy}\dot{\omega_{y}}j^{&#039;}+I_{wz}\dot{\omega_{z}}k^{&#039;}+\mathbf{\omega_{axis}}\times\mathbf{H}

This point is where I can not get the same equation in the book for rate of change of momentum. The rate of change of momentum given in fixed intertial frame is:

\mathbf{dH/dt}=\left (I_{wx}\ddot \phi- I_{wy}\Omega \dot\psi \right )i^{&#039;&#039;&#039;}+I_{wy}\ddot \beta j^{&#039;&#039;&#039;}+\left (I_{wy}\Omega\dot \phi+ I_{wx}\ddot\psi \right ) k^{&#039;&#039;&#039;}

Probably I am missing a simple point but I could not find what it is.

I am sorry, please do not consider this part:

ω_axis×H=(ψ ̇sinφI_wx ψ ̇cosφi^'-ψ ̇cosφI_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) i^' )+(φ ̇I_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) k^'-ψ ̇sinφI_wx φ ̇k^' )

Probably I wrote (copy and paste from my notes) it by mistake.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
