Spatial motion - Example ME 316 Handout 1
Planar motion – Scientific Definition All particles of a rigid body move along paths which are equidistant from a fixed plane, the body is said to undergo planar motion A body system consists of several rigid bodies. When all rigid bodies undergo planar motion, the system is said to undergo planar motion ME 316 Handout 1
3. Types of planar motion Translation ME 316 Handout 1
3. Types of planar motion Rotation at a fixed axis Planar general motion ME 316 Handout 1
Types of planar motion – Scientific definition Translation: every line segment on the body remains parallel to its original direction during the motion Rotation about a fixed axis: all the particles move along circular paths General plane motion: a combination of translation and rotation.
