1. 1 Mechanical Systems Translation  Point mass concept  P  P(t) = F(t)*v(t)  Newton’s Laws & Free-body diagrams Rotation  Rigid body concept  P  P(t) = T(t)*w(t)  Newton’s laws & Free-body diagrams Transducer devices and effects

2. 2 Mechanical rotation Newton’s Laws (applied to rotation)  Every body persists in a state of uniform (angular) motion, except insofar as it may be compelled by torque to change that state.  The time rate of change of angular momentum is equal to the torque producing it.  To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. (Principia Philosophiae, 1686, Isaac Newton)

3. 3 Quantities and SI Units “F-L-T” system  Define F: force [N]  Define L: length [m]  Define T: time [s] Derive  T: torque (moment) [N-m]  M: mass [kg]  w: angular velocity [rad/s]  J: mass moment of inertia [kg-m^2]

11. 11 Free-body diagrams Purpose: Develop a systematic method for generating the equations of a mechanical system. Setup method: Separate the mechanical schematic into standard components and effects (icons); generate the equation(s) for each icon. Standard form of equations: the composite of all component equations is the initial system set; select a reduced set of key variables (generalized coordinates); reduce the initial equation set to a set in these variables.

12. 12 Multiport modeling of mechanical translation Multiport representations of the standard icons: focus on power ports Equations for the standard icons Multiport modeling using the free-body approach

13. 13 Multiport modeling of fixed-axis rotation based on free-body diagrams Identify each rotating rigid body. Define an inertial angular velocity for each. Use a standard multiport component to represent each rotating rigid body (with or without mass). Write the standard equation(s) for each component.
