Abstract:
A lumped-parameter mechanical system consisting of a chain of physically related solids, each of which has one rotational degree of freedom. It is shown that inertial-free elastic elements that connect absolutely rigid bodies of the chain can be chosen in such a way that the mechanical structure acquires the properties of the so-called absolute mechanical filter. The motion of any inertial element of this system is described by the equation of a classical harmonic oscillator with one degree of freedom. Using the system considered as an example, it is shown that there is a relationship between the models of classical and quantum mechanics. From the positions of modern classical mechanics, this lumped-parameter system confirms the Einstein's hypothesis well-known in theoretical physics and stating that a solid is a system of independent oscillators.
Keywords:
