Model-based design of kinematics and dynamics of universal joints in technological machines.

The study implements a mathematical and visual analysis of the universal joint's work in the software package MathCad and MATLAB Simulink. We obtained the dynamic model taking into account internal characteristics. It demonstrates the connection of the torque on the crosspiece with the angular velocity of the driveshaft and allows to find and fix errors in the early stages of design. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
