Sommario

L'analisi dinamica di meccanismi flessibili viene generalmente eseguita nell'ipotesi di piccoli spostamenti da una configurazione di riferimento. A questo scopo si definisce comunemente un meccanismo di riferimento composto da membri rigidi. La definizione di tale meccanismo é soggetta ad alcune condizioni restrittive che vengono qui analizzate nel caso di meccanismi articolati piani. La seconda parte di questa nota illustra una forma semplificata di equazioni del moto per meccanismi piani a membri flessibili. Lo spostamento virtuale é approssimato con lo stesso criterio con il quale si approssimano le accelerazioni nel caso che si trascurino i termini secondari. Un paragone tra dati sperimentali e risultati numerici evidenzia come, nel caso in esame, le approssimazioni introdotte corrispondano solamente ad un leggero irrigidimento del modello matematico.

Summary

Dynamic analyses of flexible linkages are generally performed by considering small displacements from a predefined reference configuration. A reference mechanism is commonly defined for this purpose. The definition of a reference mechanism is subjected to some restricting conditions which are analyzed here for planar articulated linkages. A second part of this note documents a simplified form of the equations of motion for flexible planar mechanisms. The virtual displacement is approximated in the same way as accelerations, when secondary terms are neglected. A comparison between experimental findings and results of numerical integrations shows that, in the present case-study, the introduced approximation only corresponds to a light stiffening of the mathematical model.
