The structure looks like a pearl necklet with fixed joints like they are welded together. It has linear and angular velocity. many forces are acting on the structure due to the fluid stream. Now I want to calculate the torque at every joint. My Idea is:
- calculating the net force resulting from the forces of the stream.
- with this, calculate the angular acceleration at every joint.
- determine the inertial tensor at the joints.
--> 4. calculating the torque at every joint.
I need your help! Is this a valid possibility or am I doing nonsense? applied mechanics is not one of my best subjetcs :-)
Please answer me!
