Abstract

In this paper, using the tensor calculus and the dual numbers algebra, a new computing method for studying the higher-order accelerations field properties is proposed in the case of the general rigid body motion. For the spatial kinematic chains, equations that allow the determination of the \( {\text{n}}^{\text{th}} \) order accelerations field are given, using a Brockett-like formula specific to the dual algebra. The results are coordinate-free and in a closed form. In particular cases, the properties for velocities, accelerations, jerks and jounces fields are given. This approach uses the isomorphism between the Lie group of the rigid displacements \( S{\mathbb{E}}_{3} \) and the Lie group of the orthogonal dual tensors.
