Kineto-elastodynamics is the study of the motion of mechanisms consisting of elements which may deflect due to external loads or internal body forces. This paper describes the initial phases in the development of a general method of kineto-elastodynamic analysis and synthesis based on the flexibility approach of structural analysis, which may be applied to any planar or spatial mechanism. Dynamic error is investigated due to flexural, longitudinal, and torsional element strain, and system inertia fluctuations; the treatment of Coulomb and viscous friction is indicated. Kineto-Elastodynamic Stretch Rotation Operators are derived which will rotate and stretch both planar and spatial link vectors reflecting rigid body motion plus elastic deformations of the link. A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the elastodynamic analysis technique.

The objective of this paper is to make instantaneous invariants a more accessible tool for problem solving in the field of kinematics. We present a systematic procedure to determine the instantaneous invariants of a rigid body under geometric constraint, develop a process by which kinematic properties of rigid body motion can be expressed in terms of instantaneous invariants, and apply instantaneous invariants to solve typical kinematic synthesis problems. Four examples are given in detail for illustrative purposes.

A mechanism that encounters a certain changes in its topological structure during operation is called a mechanism with variable topologies (MVT). This paper is developed for the structural and motion state representations and identifications of MVTs. For representing the topological structures of MVTs, a set of methods including graph and matrix representations is proposed. For representing the motion state characteristics of MVTs, the idea of finite-state machines is employed via the state tables and state graphs. And, two new concepts, the topological homomorphism and motion homomorphism, are proposed for the identifications of structural and motion state characteristics of MVTs. The results of this work provide a logical foundation for the topological analysis and synthesis of mechanisms with variable topologies.

Abstract The characteristics of linear transmission mechanisms are studied. Using the characteristics, the kinematic and synthesis of linear transmission mechanisms are expanded. First, the synthesis of mechanisms with prismatic joints in the equivalent open-loop chain is developed. Then the kinematics and synthesis of mechanisms with coupled joint motion are also derived. Two coupled mechanisms are used as examples to demonstrate the application potential in the industry.

Materials used for the construction of ballistic shields are characterized by a variety of behaviours under the influence of external loads. Ballistic impact (by a bullet) in armour (ballistic shield) is an example of the phenomena that could be considered in the category of a dynamic load caused by the strike of the mass. Computer simulations are commonly used in such situations. It is especially important to adopt a proper model of the behaviour of the material. This paper presents the results obtained by simulating free 3D points and using the application developed by the authors for the purpose of this research. The made calculations include the translational motion and rotary motion of the projectile as well as the stiffness of the material, the damping of the material, friction at the points of contacting surfaces, viscous friction and plastic deformation (the material beyond the plastic yield point is perfectly plastic). The results of simulations were validated with experimental research.

Problems in mechanisms analysis and synthesis and robotics lead naturally to systems of polynomial equations. This paper reviews the state of the art in the solution of such systems of equations. Three well-known methods for solving systems of polynomial equations, viz., Dialytic Elimination, Polynomial Continuation, and Grobner bases are reviewed. The methods are illustrated by means of simple examples. We also review important kinematic analysis and synthesis problems and their solutions using these mathematical procedures.
