Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Mechanical Engineering 2.004 Dynamics and Control II Spring Term 2008 Lecture 141 Reading: ² Class Handout: Modeling Part 1: Energy and Power Flow in Linear Systems Sec. 3. ² Class Handout: Modeling Part 2: Summary of One-Port Primitive Elements 1 The Modeling of Rotational Systems. With the the modeling framework as we defined it in Lecture 13, we have seen that in each energy domain we need to define (a) Two power variables, an across variable, and a through variable. the product of these variables is power. (b) Two ideal sources, and across variable source, and a through variable source. (c) Three ideal modeling elements, two energy storage elements (a T-type element, and a A-Type element), and a dissipative (D-Type) element.) (d) A pair of interconnection laws. We now address modeling of rotational mechanical systems. (a) De¯nition of Power variables: In a rotational system we consider the motion of a system around an axis of rotation: W , T Consider the rotary motion resulting from a force F applied at a radius r from the rotational axis 1copyright �c D.Rowell 2008 14–1 D x F r q W The work done by the force F in moving an infinitesimal distance Δx is ΔW = F Δx = F rθ and the power P is dΔW dθ P = = F r = T Ω dt dt where T = F r is the applied torque (N.m), and Ω = dθ= dt is the angular velocity (rad/s). We note that if T and Ω have the same sign, then P > 0 and power is flowing into the system or element that is being rotated. Similarly, if T and Ω have the opposite signs, then P < 0 and power is flowing from the system or element, in other words the system is doing work on the source. Note that the angular velocity Ω can be different across an element, but that torque T is transmitted through an element: W2 , T A ngular velocities W 1 a n d W 2 c a n b e d i f f e r e n t a c r o s s an elem ent. The torque T transm itted t h r o u g h a n elem ent is constant. W1 , T We therefore define our power variables as torque T and angular velocity Ω, where ² T is chosen as the through variable ² Ω is chosen as the across variable. (b) Ideal Sources: With the choice of modeling variables we can define our pair of ideal sources The Angular Velocity Source: Ωs(t) By definition the angular velocity source is an across variable source.The ideal angular velocity source will maintain the rotational speed regardless of the torque it must generate to do so: 14–2 W a W arrow show s direction angular velocity W i s of assum ed ang. vel. independent of torque T d r o p . W Wa > W b W b 0 T t o r q u e The Torque Source: Ts(t) By definition the torque source is a through variable source. The ideal torque source will maintain the applied torque regardless of the angular velocity it must generate to do so: W T o r q u e T is independent of angular velocity W arrow show s direction T o f t o r q u e . 0 T t o r q u e (c) Ideal Modeling Elements: 1 The Moment of Inertia: Consider a mass element m rotating at a fixed radius R about the axis of rotation. The stored energy is m 1 2 1 2 E = m(rΩ) = JΩ r 2 2 where J = mr2 is defined to be the mo­ ment of inertia of the particle. W For a collection of n mass particles mi at radii ri, i = 1; : : : ; n, the moment of inertia is n X 2 J = miri : i=1 14–3 For a continuous distribution of mass about the axis of rotation, the moment of inertia is W Z R r J = r 2dm d m m a s s a t 0 r a d i u s r Examples: W m L 2 A uniform rod of length L J = 1 2 m rotating about its center. w h e r e is the m ass L o f t h e r o d 1 J 2 r = m r A uniform disc with radius r 2 m rotating about its center. w h e r e is the m ass of the disk The elemental equation for the moment of inertia J is dΩJ TJ = J dt 2 We note that the energy stored in a rotating mass is E = JΩ =2, that is it is a function of the across variable, defining the moment of inertia as an A-type element. As in the case of a translational mass element, the angular velocity drop associated with a rotary inertia J is always measured with respect to a non-accelerating reference frame. Elemental Impedance: By definition ΩJ (s) 1 ZJ = = TJ (s) Js from the elemental equation. 14–4 (2) The Torsional Spring: T Wb , q b K W = W a - W b T W a , q a Let θa and θb be the angular displacements of the two ends from their rest positions. Hooke’s law for a torsional spring is T = K(θa ¡ θb): where K is defined to be the torsional sti®ness. Differentiation gives dT d(θa ¡ θb) = K dt dt dT = KΩ dt ˙ ˙ where Ω = (θa ¡ θb) is the angular velocity drop across the spring. Torsional stiffness may result from the material properties of a “long” shaft J 1 J 2 W 1 W 2 shaft can tw ist w ith different angular velocities at the t w o e n d s or may be intentional, for example in a coil (“hair”) spring in a mechanical watch. T W coil spring 14–5 The energy stored in a torsional spring is Z t 1 2 E = T Ω dt = T 1 2K which is a function of the through variable, defining the spring as a T-type element. Elemental Impedance: By definition ΩK (s) s ZK = = TK (s) K from the elemental equation. (3) The Rotational Damper: We look for an algebraic relationship between T and Ω of the form T = BΩ viscous frictional T c o n t a c t W b W = W a - W b T W a which is approximated as viscous rotational friction: external viscous s h a f t frictional contact T , W T b e a r i n g s ( f r i c t i o n ) W a 2 Notice that P = T Ω = BΩ > 0, which defines the damper as a D-type element. Elemental Impedance: By definition ΩB (s) 1 ZB = = TB(s) B from the elemental equation. (d) Interconnection Laws: Consider an inertial element J subject to n external torques T1; T2; : : : ; Tn, for example 14–6 J T T 3 4 TT1 2 r e f e r e n c e W d i r e c t i o n then dΩ J = T1 ¡ T 2 + T3 + T4 dt and in general n X dΩ Ti = J dt i=1 As in the translational case, we consider a “fictitious” d’Alembert torque Tj and write n X Ti ¡ TJ = 0 i=1 as the torque balance (continuity condition) at a node. 2 3 W J 1 arrow on an inertial branch J alw ays points to the reference node W J is alw ays m easured w ith repect to an inertial W r e f = 0 reference fram e For an “inertia-less” node (J = 0), n X Ti = 0 i=1 which states that the external torques sum to zero, for example at node (a) below, TB ¡ TK = 0. K W 2 B K B ( a ) W a T W1 14–7 Continuity Condition: The sum of torques (including a d’Alembert torque associated with an inertia a element) at any node on a system graph is zero. Nodes represent points of distinct angular velocity in a rotational system, and by analogy with translational systems, the compatibility condition is Compatibility Condition: The sum of angular velocity drops around any closed loop on a system graph is zero. For example, on the graph: J W b K B ( a ) ( b ) J K 1 2 B W a W = 0 two compatibility equations are: ΩK + ΩJ ¡ Ωs = 0 (Loop 1), ΩB ¡ ΩJ = 0 (Loop 2). 2 Updated Tables of Generalized Elements to Include Rotational Elements: The tables presented in Lecture 13 are now updated to include rotational systems.

  • Chapter 8 Relationship Between Rotational Speed and Magnetic
    Chapter 8 Relationship Between Rotational Speed and Magnetic Fields 8.1 Introduction It is well-known that sunspots and other solar magnetic features rotate faster than the surface plasma (Howard & Harvey, 1970). The sidereal rotation speeds of weak magnetic features and plages (Howard, Gilman, & Gilman, 1984; Komm, Howard, & Harvey, 1993), individual sunspots (Howard, Gilman, & Gilman, 1984; Sivaraman, Gupta, & Howard, 1993) and sunspot groups (Howard, 1992) have been studied for many years by different research groups by use of different observatory data (see reviews of Howard 1996 and Beck 2000). Such studies are deemed as diagnostics of subsurface conditions based on the assumption that the faster rotation of magnetic features was caused by the faster-rotating plasma in the interior where the magnetic features were anchored (Gilman & Foukal, 1979). By matching the sunspot surface speed with the solar interior rotational speed robustly derived by helioseismology (e.g., Thompson et al., 1996; Kosovichev et al., 1997; Howe et al., 2000a), several studies estimated the depth of sunspot roots for sunspots of different sizes and life spans (e.g., Hiremath, 2002; Sivaraman et al., 2003). Such studies are valuable for understanding the solar dynamo and origin of solar active regions. However, D’Silva & Howard (1994) proposed a different explanation, namely that effects of buoyancy 111 112 CHAPTER 8. ROTATIONAL SPEED AND MAGNETIC FIELDS and drag coupled with the Coriolis force during the emergence of active regions might lead to the faster rotational speed. Although many studies were done to infer the rotational speed of various solar magnetic features, the relationship between the rotational speed of the magnetic fea- tures and their magnetic strength has not yet been studied.

  • Rotating Objects Tend to Keep Rotating While Non- Rotating Objects Tend to Remain Non-Rotating
    12 Rotational Motion Rotating objects tend to keep rotating while non- rotating objects tend to remain non-rotating. 12 Rotational Motion In the absence of an external force, the momentum of an object remains unchanged— conservation of momentum. In this chapter we extend the law of momentum conservation to rotation. 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia The greater the rotational inertia, the more difficult it is to change the rotational speed of an object. 1 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Newton’s first law, the law of inertia, applies to rotating objects. • An object rotating about an internal axis tends to keep rotating about that axis. • Rotating objects tend to keep rotating, while non- rotating objects tend to remain non-rotating. • The resistance of an object to changes in its rotational motion is called rotational inertia (sometimes moment of inertia). 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Just as it takes a force to change the linear state of motion of an object, a torque is required to change the rotational state of motion of an object. In the absence of a net torque, a rotating object keeps rotating, while a non-rotating object stays non-rotating. 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Rotational Inertia and Mass Like inertia in the linear sense, rotational inertia depends on mass, but unlike inertia, rotational inertia depends on the distribution of the mass. The greater the distance between an object’s mass concentration and the axis of rotation, the greater the rotational inertia. 2 12 Rotational Motion 12.1 Rotational Inertia Rotational inertia depends on the distance of mass from the axis of rotation.

  • Exploring Robotics Joel Kammet Supplemental Notes on Gear Ratios
    CORC 3303 – Exploring Robotics Joel Kammet Supplemental notes on gear ratios, torque and speed Vocabulary SI (Système International d'Unités) – the metric system force torque axis moment arm acceleration gear ratio newton – Si unit of force meter – SI unit of distance newton-meter – SI unit of torque Torque Torque is a measure of the tendency of a force to rotate an object about some axis. A torque is meaningful only in relation to a particular axis, so we speak of the torque about the motor shaft, the torque about the axle, and so on. In order to produce torque, the force must act at some distance from the axis or pivot point. For example, a force applied at the end of a wrench handle to turn a nut around a screw located in the jaw at the other end of the wrench produces a torque about the screw. Similarly, a force applied at the circumference of a gear attached to an axle produces a torque about the axle. The perpendicular distance d from the line of force to the axis is called the moment arm. In the following diagram, the circle represents a gear of radius d. The dot in the center represents the axle (A). A force F is applied at the edge of the gear, tangentially. F d A Diagram 1 In this example, the radius of the gear is the moment arm. The force is acting along a tangent to the gear, so it is perpendicular to the radius. The amount of torque at A about the gear axle is defined as = F×d 1 We use the Greek letter Tau ( ) to represent torque.

    Lagrangian mechanics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 11 Lagrangian mechanics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lagrangian mechanics is a re-formulation of classical mechanics that combines Classical mechanics conservation of momentum with conservation of energy. It was introduced by the French mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange in 1788. Newton's Second Law In Lagrangian mechanics, the trajectory of a system of particles is derived by solving History of classical mechanics · the Lagrange equations in one of two forms, either the Lagrange equations of the Timeline of classical mechanics [1] first kind , which treat constraints explicitly as extra equations, often using Branches [2][3] Lagrange multipliers; or the Lagrange equations of the second kind , which Statics · Dynamics / Kinetics · Kinematics · [1] incorporate the constraints directly by judicious choice of generalized coordinates.

If one is tracking the bead as a particle, calculation of the motion of the bead using Newtonian mechanics) mechanics would require solving for the time-varying constraint force required to Analytical mechanics: keep the bead in the groove.

  • Chapter 8: Rotational Motion
    TODAY: Start Chapter 8 on Rotation Chapter 8: Rotational Motion Linear speed: distance traveled per unit of time. In rotational motion we have linear speed: depends where we (or an object) is located in the circle. If you ride near the outside of a merry-go-round, do you go faster or slower than if you ride near the middle? It depends on whether “faster” means -a faster linear speed (= speed), ie more distance covered per second, Or - a faster rotational speed (=angular speed, ω), i.e. more rotations or revolutions per second. • Linear speed of a rotating object is greater on the outside, further from the axis (center) Perimeter of a circle=2r •Rotational speed is the same for any point on the object – all parts make the same # of rotations in the same time interval. More on rotational vs tangential speed For motion in a circle, linear speed is often called tangential speed – The faster the ω, the faster the v in the same way v ~ ω. directly proportional to − ω doesn’t depend on where you are on the circle, but v does: v ~ r He’s got twice the linear speed than this guy. Same RPM (ω) for all these people, but different tangential speeds. Clicker Question A carnival has a Ferris wheel where the seats are located halfway between the center and outside rim. Compared with a Ferris wheel with seats on the outside rim, your angular speed while riding on this Ferris wheel would be A) more and your tangential speed less.

  • Rotational Motion 7
    Rotational Motion 7 Once the translational motion of an object is accounted for, all the other motions of the object can best be described in the stationary reference frame of the center of mass. A reasonable image to keep in mind is to imagine following a seagull in a helicopter that tracks its translational motion. If you took a video of the seagull you would see quite dif- ferent motion than you would from the ground. The seagull would appear always ahead of you but would rotate and change its “shape” as it flapped its wings (e.g., see the film Winged Migration). You’ve probably seen such wildlife videos that can track animals and “subtract” their translational motion leaving only the other collective motions about their “centers”: lions seemingly running “in place” as the scenery flies by. In physics, we’ve already shown how to account for the translational motion of the center of mass. Aside from a possible constant velocity drift in the absence of any forces, motion of the center of mass is caused by external forces acting on the object. We now turn to the other motions about the center of mass as viewed from a reference frame fixed to the center of mass. These collective motions are of two types: coherent and incoherent. Coherent motions are those overall rotations or vibrations that occur within a solid in which the constituent particles making up the object interact with each other in a coordinated fashion. If the solid is rigid (with all the internal distances between constituent parts fixed) the only collective motion will be an overall rotation about the center of mass.

  • Studying Rotational Motion of Luffing Boom Cranes with Maximum Load Using Simulations
    SCIENTIFIC PROCEEDINGS XII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS "MACHINES, TECHNOLОGIES, MATERIALS" 2015 ISSN 1310-3946 STUDYING ROTATIONAL MOTION OF LUFFING BOOM CRANES WITH MAXIMUM LOAD USING SIMULATIONS Prof. Doci Ilir, PhD.1, Prof. Hamidi Beqir. PhD.1 Faculty of Mechanical Engineering –University of Prishtina, Kosovo 1 [email protected] Abstract: Luffing Boom Cranes are type of cranes used for load carrying in building sites. They have complex structure with big dimensions and mechanisms. Their working usage is high. Main cycles of the work of Luffing Boom cranes are: lifting and lowering the working load, Boom luffing – upwards and downwards, rotation around vertical axes, and (if mobile type) translational movement forward and backwards. In this work, we are going to study the work of this crane while rotating with full loading. Study will be done using simulations with computer applications. The aim is to see the effects of dynamic forces and moments in the crane’s main parts - metal construction, cables, and constraints during rotational work cycle, particularly at the start and end of the rotation. Also interest is to study the effects of load swinging in crane’s stability. For this purpose, we modeled with software entire luffing boom crane. Crane is modeled from standard manufacturer, as a common model of luffing boom Crane. Keywords: LUFFING BOOM CRANE, ROTATIONAL MOTION, OSCILLATIONS, MODELING, SIMULATIONS 1. Introduction This form of simulation scenario is close to real work of crane and best for achievement of reliable results. All the graphs in this The type of Crane taken for study is Liebherr 540 HC-l2 [2].
