β¦ Synopsis
The process of determining the kinetic energy as a function of generalized coordinates and velocities of rigid body systems is often extremely laborious. In this paper a method is presented by means of which all the kinetic energy terms ef a system possessing a tree structure are calculated in a systematic manner. The paper contains the derivation qf a general formula for kinetic energy which is then exempIiJied in the case of planar motion. A particular example qf the six degree-of-freedom rigid body system in planar motion is also provided.

XBSTRACT : This paper considers one special type of switching network, namely, the singlecontact (SC) network. A minimal set of de~nitions is introduced, and several known theorems, which are useful in the later development, are stated without proof. Certain functional transformations are then deriv
We consider application of the group function theory to an arbitrary infinite system consisting of weakly overlapping structural elements which may be atoms, ions, molecules, bonds, etc. We demonstrate that the arrow diagram (AD) expansion developed previously is ill-defined for such a system result
