Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies

853
Virtual work is a powerful method used to solve problems involving several connected rigid bodies. When the system is in equilibrium, virtual work is zero. This allows the calculation of the resulting forces when a system undergoes a virtual displacement. When attempting to analyze such a system, first, use a free-body diagram, where an independent coordinate represents the configuration of the links, and mark its deflected position resulting from the positive virtual displacement.

    Area of Science:

    • Computer Graphics
    • Robotics
    • Physics Simulation

    Background:

    • Dexterous manipulation of virtual objects is computationally intensive.
