Mechanical Systems III
Drawing a F.B.D. using d’Alembert’s principle
• d’Alembert’s Principle :
The sum of the differences between the forces acting on a system and the time derivatives of the moments of the system itself along a virtual displacement con sistent with the constraints of the system, is zero.
• One can transform an accelerating rigid body into an equivalent static system
by adding the so-called “inertial force” and “inertial moment”

Find TF without writing the differential equation!
Let’s define Mechanical Impedance as
[Sum of impedances] X(s) = [Sum of applied forces]
