Conditions for the feasibility of multiple rolling for mechanical systems with multiple contact points
arXiv:1106.2255
Abstract
We illustrate a theoretical procedure determining necessary conditions for which simultaneous pure rolling kinetic constraints acting on a mechanical system can be fulfilled. We also analyze the sufficiency of these conditions by generalizing to this case a well known and usually accepted assumption on the behavior of pure rolling constraint. We present in detail the application of the procedure to some significative mechanical systems.
