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.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
