Abstract

Mechanical systems are quite often modelled as sets of stiff and flexible elements. If some conditions concerning connections of these elements are fulfilled, then we get a physical model having an interesting feature: it is quite easy to derive equations of motion from a diagram representing in a natural, intuitive manner the structure of the system. The algorithm for such derivation, including creation of a simple graphical user interface is presented in the paper. The algorithm takes advantage of the software package MATLAB /SIMULINK.
