Kinematic Analysis of an Analoguous Huygens Pendulum Behaviour Using Inverted Tooth Chain

Abstract

This paper presents the results of the kinematic analysis of an analogous Huygens pendulum using Inverted Tooth Chain (I.T.C); the simulation was done by the aid of MSC ADAMS VIEW. During the simulation process one could see the behaviour of the Inverted Tooth Chain by observing the motion of the chain plates in relation to the global coordinate axes. Also, it presents the possibility of obtaining various measurements of different angular displacements, velocities and accelerations of each plate individually, which in return give relevant information on the system behaviour.
