Determination of geometrical conditions of assembly and impacts in classified types of mechanical systems with impacts

The object of investigations are systems with impacts with one and two degrees of freedom that have been classified by the authors previously. The models of the systems under consideration are rigid bodies that can perform a motion along a straight line without a possibility of rotations. The geometrical conditions of assembly and the geometrical conditions of inner and outer impacts have been determined in this study. According to the authors' viewpoint, the determination of these conditions will find an application in calculations and design of the structures described. (c) 2004 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
