A mathematical model for summing rotary motions

In this work, using the means of applied mathematics, problems are solved related to the field of automation and control of technological processes, namely, the analytical description of superpositions of rotations that occur during the operation of numerous mechanisms. The practical aspect of the topic is determined by the fact that in mechanisms such as planetary gears, cutter drives in machines for cleaning pipes of large diameters, etc. summation of rotational motions is realized, and the shape of the hodograph is useful information in the design of such devices. The prerequisite for consideration is the principle of summation of rectilinear uniform movements. The aim of the work is to determine how things are in a similar situation when adding rotational synchronous movements. It was found that just as the result of the addition of two uniform rectilinear mechanical movements is also a uniform rectilinear movement, the result of the addition of two uniform unidirectional circular movements is also a uniform circular movement. The hodograph when two uniform oppositely directed circular motions are added is an ellipse. In a particular case, the ellipse can degenerate into a straight line segment. When two asynchronous rotations are added, hodographs in the form of a cochlea are possible, which is similar to Pascal's cochlea
