Abstract

In this article one of the greatest generalized methods for establishing the equilibrium equations of a rigid body and the set of rigid bodies is proposed. It is related to six equations of moments of force about six the edges of a reference tetragon. It is possible to obtain different alternatives by substituting the force moment-equation for the force project-equation. Four different forms of equilibrium are established. It is important writing equilibrium equations of bodies possible to apply the special software as Mathcad, Maple.

Keywords:

equilibrium of a rigid body, equilibrium of mechanical system, matrix method, frame tetragon, generalized tetragon frame of axis
