3.2.1 General Concepts and Relative Equations of Motion

A : A point of object (disc) number 1 that is slipped on

 

P : A point of object 1 having the same coordinates as B (a point at the bottom of the channel)

 

 

 

 

If point B were fixed, it would have the same velocity and acceleration as P. However, since it slides in the channel, it has an additional velocity and acceleration with respect to P, which are called relative velocity and relative acceleration.

Let us consider a ball B that slides freely in a channel opened on disk number 1.

(It only makes the movement of object number 1)

 

Since A and P are two points of the same object, equations 3.4 and 3.5 are valid between them:

 

 

Since P and B have the same coordinates:

3.2.2 What is Coriolis Acceleration and When Does It Appear?

  • If there is a point that slides (displaces) on a rotating object; an independent acceleration of this sliding point occurs, which is called the coriolis acceleration (acor).
  • Coriolis acceleration has the effect of changing the direction of the relative velocity of the sliding object.

  • What is meant by a rotating object is an object that has an angular velocity of ω at the moment of examination, in which case the object is making instantaneous rotation. It is not necessary for this object to be in a constant rotational motion.

 

  • Now we will prove this equation with another example:..>>

The collar B sliding on the rod rotating about A undergoes general planar motion (rotation + translation) and therefore must have all of the terms in the acceleration equations 1.29 and 1.30. Now we will separate this motion into two different motions and specify the accelerations for each motion and which terms they correspond to in the acceleration equations in polar coordinates.

On the horizontal plane, the angular velocity of the 1m radius disk rotating around the center A is ω= 2rd/s in the counterclockwise direction and its angular acceleration is α = 1rd/s2 in the clockwise direction. In the dc channel opened on the disk, ball B moves freely. In the position shown, its velocity relative to the channel is 2m/s in the c direction and its acceleration is 4m/s2 in the d direction. Accordingly,

Question 3.2.3 : In the mechanism in the figure, objects 1, 2 and 3 move on the fixed frame 4. In the position shown, the angular velocity and angular acceleration of disk 1 centered at O are clockwise and their magnitudes are ω1=2rd/s and α1=1rd/s2 , respectively. Ball B attached to the disk can slide freely in the channel on arm 2, and element E can slide freely in the vertical channel opened on fixed frame 4. Accordingly, calculate the velocity and acceleration of sliding element E for the position shown.

 

To find the velocity and acceleration of element E, it is sufficient to find the velocity and acceleration of point A.

The intensity of the velocity is assumed to be in the positive (+y) direction.
