Abstract
One of the classical contact problems of two-dimensional chain dynamics for the cases without friction and with dry friction is considered. An analytical formula for tension of the chain along its total length is found in the paper. The conditions for disappearance of the chain contact with the support are considered. The existence of the energy integral gives the possibility to obtain these conditions in an analytical way. In the case with friction, numerical-analytical results of the investigation are given.
