AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the representation of rigid bodies in dynamics through substantial points, which have mass equivalent to the rigid body. Key formulas are presented, including kinetic energy equalities that relate the mass and velocity of the center of mass to the moment of inertia and angular velocity of individual bodies within a mechanism. The concept of reduced moment of inertia is also highlighted, particularly in the context of mechanisms like a four-bar linkage. The user seeks guidance on terminology for effective Google searches related to these concepts, especially regarding two or three mass models and generalized moment of inertia. Understanding these principles is crucial for studying the dynamics of machines.

Hi, I have to find examples,application about points which represent a rigid body.In the lecture dynamics of machines we call them substantial points. the points have a mass which is equal to
rigid body for example a mechanism. to do this we use kinetic energy equalities.

1/2(ma*va2)=(\sum(Ek))i and 1/2 (ma *va^2)=∑(1/2 mi*vi^2 + 1/2*Ii*wi^2)

these two are the formulas: ma:(induced,reduced?) point A, mi: mass of the İth body(in the ∑ symbol), vi is the velocity of center of mass of the İth body, Ii is the moment of inertia of the ith body and wi is the angular velocity of the ith body.

we also study (reduced?) moment of inertia of the machine( for example a fourbar mechanism) to
a mile(or axle). here is the formula 1/2*I*w^2=∑1/2*mp*vp^2

here: I is the moment of inertia student has to find which represents I think all the kinetic energy
mp is the mass of pth body of the machine(or mechanism)

I want to make a google search about this but I don't know true words for this subject. Can you
help me. And have ever met this subject in the books about dynamics of machines I have never met with them in english books. at least reduced( or equivalent) momet of inertia part.

my first question is about two or three mass models - two or three points which represents the rigid body
and second question is about generalized moment of inertia or reduced moment of inertia to a point, for example ,on the mechanism.
 
this is the picture of equation

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...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
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
