EXAMINATION OF STRESS-STRAIN STATE OF SPHERICAL TRANSFORMING MECHANISM ELEMENTS AT NON-ORTHOGONAL ARRANGEMENT EXTERNAL HINGES
Work is devoted to modeling of stress-strain state of spherical converting mechanism with non-orthogonal arrangement of hinges of outer ring relative to rocking axis of intermediate ring. Results of simulation of mechanism main elements loading in operating position are shown. Based on the obtained data, the most hazardous areas were identified and design recommendations were given
