Mathematical model and motion analysis of a wheeled vibro-impact locomotion system

The paper is aimed at investigating the motion conditions of wheeled vibro-impact locomotion system equipped with twin crank-slider excitation mechanism and additional braking mechanisms allowing only one-way rotation wheels. novelty present research consists in improved mathematical model describing proposed parameters optimization technique that allows for maximizing average translational velocity platform. main idea this to provide maximal velocities internal bodies when they get contact corresponding impact plates. numerical modeling results dynamic behavior are obtained Mathematica software substantiate correctness developed technique. can be significant practical scientific interest researchers engineers studying improving vibratory systems, e.g., inspecting cleaning pipelines.
