Lecture 5: Constraints I
holonomic constraints
external constraints (bead on a wire)
internal constraints (connectivity constraints)
orientation constraints
Constraints reduce the number of degrees of freedom of a mechanism
2
Holonomic constraints can be written in terms of the coordinates
Simple holonomic constraints are linear in the coordinates
Nonsimple holonomic constraints are nonlinear in the coordinates
(I will address nonholonomic constraints in Lecture 7.)

I call it a bead, and I’ll treat it as a point — three degrees of freedom

We can solve this analytically in the simple case where
€
′ x χ( )2 + ′ y χ( )
2 + ′ z χ( )2
is a constant.
The helix is such a case
€
x = acos χ( ), y = asinχ , z = −hχ
€
′ x χ( )2 + ′ y χ( )
2 + ′ z χ( )2 = a2 sin2 χ + a2 cos2 χ + h2 = a2 + h2

The maximum height of the track is unity at c = 0
Starting from rest below unity leads to an oscillation
Starting at c = 0 with no motion gives (unstable) equilibriumAdd motion and we get a roller coaster-like motion
Let’s look at the Mathematica code

Link on a wire
I will eventually specialize to an axisymmetric link on the helical wire,but we can say some general things first
I will align the K axis of the link with the local curve
26
Link on a wire
I suppose the link to be small enough that I can neglect the curvature of the wire locally, so I can still impose the position constraints
€
x = x χ( ), y = y χ( ), z = z χ( )
But now I have an orientation constraint
€
K = λ ⇒ sinθ sinφi − sinθ cosφj+ cosθk∝ ′ x i + ′ y j+ ′ z k
€
tanφ = −′ x ′ y ⇒ sinθ

We have determined two Euler angles: f and qWe are left with y, and the system has two degrees of freedom
28
Link on a wire
Doing this in general is really difficultand it will obscure what is going on in a sea of algebra
so let’s stick to the helix
€
x = acos χ( ), y = asin χ , z = −hχ
€
′ x = −asin χ( ), ′ y = acosχ , ′ z = −h
€
K = sinθ sinφi − sinθ cosφj+ cosθkλ ∝−asin χ i + acosχ j− hk
29
Link on a wire
Start by letting f = c, which is almost intuitive
€
K = sinθ sin χ i − sinθ cosχ j+ cosθkλ ∝−asin χ i + acosχ j− hk
sinq needs to be proportional to –acosq needs to be proportional to -h
€
sinθ = − aa2 + h2
, cosθ = − ha2 + h2

q =−sin−1 ha2 + h2

Link on a wire
Two degrees of freedom — c and y — as we noted before
If the link is axisymmetric this problem has a closed from solution!
I’m going to leave this as a problem for you
31
We’ve been looking at external constraints on a single link
I’d like to start on internal constraints connecting links
I will split these into orientation constraints and connectivity constraints
I will also split them into simple and nonsimple constraints
Orientation constraints are often simpleConnectivity constraints are usually nonsimple
32
Some notation
I’m going to work, for now, with fairly symmetric bodiestheir centers of mass are also their “actual center”
rectangular solidscylinders
ellipsoids. . . .
I will use body coordinates parallel to the principal moments
I will usually (at least for now) connect bodies at their endsand suppose the ends to be in the K direction
33
34
I suppose the semiaxes to be a, b and c in the I, J and K directions
Here b = a.
The connectivity of these two links relates the center of mass of link twoto the center of mass of link one
€
r2 = r1 + c1K1 + c2K 2
This relates x2, y2 and z2 to the coordinates of link 1 and all six Euler angles
It’s a connectivity constraint and it is not simpleit is nonsimple — by which I mean not linear
35
€
r2 = r1 + c1 sinθ1 sinφ1i − sinθ1 cosφ1j+ cosθ1k( ) + c2 sinθ2 sinφ2i − sinθ2 cosφ2j+ cosθ2k( )
€
x2 = x1 + c1 sinθ1 sinφ1 + c2 sinθ2 sinφ2
y2 = y1 − c1 sinθ1 cosφ1 − c2 sinθ2 cosφ2
z2 = z1 + c1 cosθ1 + c2 cosθ2
You can see that substituting this into the Lagrangian will lead to quite a mess
It gets worse as we add links
We’re going to learn cool ways to deal with this, but not just yet
The system has nine degrees of freedomIt started with twelve and we took three out
36
We can further constrain this system by attaching the first link to the ground at the origin of the inertial system
€
r1 = c1K1, r2 = 2c1K1 + c2K 2
€
x1 = c1 sinθ1 sinφ1, x2 = 2c1 sinθ1 sinφ1 + c2 sinθ2 sinφ2
y1 = −c1 sinθ1 cosφ1, y2 = −2c1 sinθ1 cosφ1 − c2 sinθ2 cosφ2
z1 = c1 cosθ1, z2 = 2c1 cosθ1 + c2 cosθ2
and this system now has six degrees of freedom
37
Suppose the two links we looked at to be connected by a hingeinstead of a magic spherical joint
Here I denotes the common Ivector for both links
the direction of the hinge pin
38
€
I1 = cosφ1 cosψ1 − sinφ1 cosθ1 sinψ1( )i + sinφ1 cosψ1 + cosφ1 cosθ1 sinψ1( )j+ sinθ1 sinψ1k
I2 = cosφ2 cosψ 2 − sinφ2 cosθ2 sinψ 2( )i + sinφ2 cosψ 2 + cosφ2 cosθ2 sinψ 2( )j+ sinθ2 sinψ 2k
and these will be equal if
€
φ2 = φ1, ψ 2 = 0 =ψ1
(It is possible to have a more complicated hinge relationand we may get to that near the end of the course or we may not.)
39
Think about this operationally
We rotate both of these through the same f angle
Then we rotate each about a different q angle
We do not rotate either about its y angle
