Equations of Motions of a Wheel Axle Set

In summary, the conversation is about obtaining the general equations of motion for a wheel-axle set, as well as transformation equations between different coordinate axes. The conversation also includes discussions about angular velocity and momentum, and the difficulty in finding the same equation for the rate of change of momentum in a book.

Hello all,

I am currently studying dynamics of a wheel-axle set for my research. My problem is I could not find the same equation for the rate of the change of the momentum in the book, book is a little bit old and I could not find any errata about the book or any other references that explains the derivation of equations. Thank you in advance for your help.

I am trying to obtain the general wheel axle set equations of motion given in the 5th chapter of the book (all the equations and figures are taken from this book):

I am giving the axes systems in the book used:

The first axes is used as fixed inertial reference frame. The second one is an intermediate frame rotated through an angle [itex]\psi[/itex] about the z axis of the third axes system (which is attached to the mass center of wheelset) Transformation equations between coordinate axes given in the book:

[itex]
\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{'}\\j^{'} \\ k^{'}
\end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}
1 &0 &0 \\
0 &cos\phi &sin\phi \\
0 &-sin\phi & cos\phi
\end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{''}\\j^{''} \\ k^{''}
\end{Bmatrix}
[/itex]

[itex]
\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{''}\\j^{''} \\ k^{''}
\end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}
cos\psi &sin\psi &0 \\
-sin\psi &cos\psi &0 \\
0 &0 & 1
\end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{'''}\\j^{'''} \\ k^{'''}
\end{Bmatrix}
[/itex]

[itex]
\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{'}\\j^{'} \\ k^{'}
\end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}
cos\psi &sin\psi &0 \\
-cos\phi sin\psi &cos\phi cos\psi &0 \\
sin\phi sin\psi &-sin\phi cos\psi & 1
\end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{'''}\\j^{'''} \\ k^{'''}
\end{Bmatrix}
[/itex]



for small [itex]\psi[/itex] and [itex]\phi[/itex]


[itex]
\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{'}\\j^{'} \\ k^{'}
\end{Bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}
1 &\psi &0 \\
-\psi &1 &0 \\
0 &-phi & 1
\end{bmatrix}\begin{Bmatrix}
i^{'''}\\j^{'''} \\ k^{'''}
\end{Bmatrix}
[/itex]

The angular velocity [itex]\mathbf{\omega}[/itex] of the axle wheelset is given by:

[itex]\mathbf{\omega}=\dot{\phi }i^{''}+\left ( \Omega +\dot{\beta } \right )j^{'}+\dot{\psi }k^{''}[/itex]​

The angular velocity [itex]\mathbf{\omega}[/itex] expressed in body coordinate axis is given by:

[itex]\mathbf{\omega}=\dot{\phi }i^{'}+\left ( \Omega +\dot{\beta }+\dot{\psi }sin\phi \right )j^{'}+\dot{\psi }cos\phi k^{'}[/itex]

[itex]\mathbf{\omega}=\omega_{x}i^{'}+\omega_{y}j^{'}+\omega_{z}k^{'}[/itex]​

where [itex]\omega_{x}=\dot{\phi }, \omega_{y}=\left ( \Omega +\dot{\beta }+\dot{\psi }sin\phi \right ), \omega_{z}=\dot{\psi }cos\phi[/itex] and the angular momentum of the wheel axle set in the body coordinate system

[itex]\mathbf{H}=I_{wx}\omega_{x}i^{'}+I_{wy}\omega_{y}j^{'}+I_{wz}\omega_{z}k^{'}[/itex]

please note that because of symmetry(principal mass moments) [itex]I_{wx}=I_{wz}[/itex].

Angular velocity of coordinate axes

ω_axis×H=(ψ ̇sinφI_wx ψ ̇cosφi^'-ψ ̇cosφI_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) i^' )+(φ ̇I_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) k^'-ψ ̇sinφI_wx φ ̇k^' )

[itex]\mathbf{\omega_{axis}}=\dot{\phi }i^{'}+\dot{\psi }k^{''}=\dot{\phi }i^{'}+\dot{\psi }sin\phi j^{'}+\dot{\psi }cos\phi k^{'}[/itex]

The rate of change of momentum is given as

[itex]\mathbf{dH/dt}=I_{wx}\dot{\omega_{x}}i^{'}+I_{wy}\dot{\omega_{y}}j^{'}+I_{wz}\dot{\omega_{z}}k^{'}+\mathbf{\omega_{axis}}\times\mathbf{H} [/itex]

This point is where I can not get the same equation in the book for rate of change of momentum. The rate of change of momentum given in fixed intertial frame is:

[itex]\mathbf{dH/dt}=\left (I_{wx}\ddot \phi- I_{wy}\Omega \dot\psi \right )i^{'''}+I_{wy}\ddot \beta j^{'''}+\left (I_{wy}\Omega\dot \phi+ I_{wx}\ddot\psi \right ) k^{'''} [/itex]

Probably I am missing a simple point but I could not find what it is.

I am sorry, please do not consider this part:

ω_axis×H=(ψ ̇sinφI_wx ψ ̇cosφi^'-ψ ̇cosφI_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) i^' )+(φ ̇I_wy (Ω+β ̇+ψ ̇sinφ) k^'-ψ ̇sinφI_wx φ ̇k^' )

Probably I wrote (copy and paste from my notes) it by mistake.
