The Influence of the Rigidity of Flexible Wires on the Proper Pulsations of an Elastic System with One Degree of Freedom Formed from Homogeneous Wheels and Bars, Springs and Inextensible and Extensible Wires

Abstract The paper aims to study the influence of the stiffness of flexible connecting wires on the free natural pulsations of an elastic system with one degree of freedom formed by wheels and homogeneous bars, springs and flexible wires for two cases: a) when they are considered inextensible and b) when they are considered extensible, their flexibility being proportional to their length. With the help of the professional program MATHCAD, the influence of the relative stiffness of elastic wires subjected to traction, on the natural pulsations, for several variants of flexible and extensible wires, was simulated, using the parametric calculation of the natural pulsations.
