Abstract

In this paper, the proposed formulation of the single contact motion space analysis using screws and differential screws, shows that only the geometric kinematical properties affect the second-order motion space characteristics w.r.t. a contact. The classical Eulery-Savary equation derived through the present approach established its necessity and sufficiency for the second-order roll-slide motion. Geometrical interpretations of the motion space of curves in a point contact help in defining composition rules for analyzing the cases with multiple contacts. The theory is illustrated through two examples.
