Abstract
Dynamic investigations of multimass discrete-continuous systems
having variable moment of inertia are performed. The systems are
torsionally deformed and consist of an arbitrary number of elastic
elements connected by rigid bodies. The problem is nonlinear and
it is linearized after appropriate transformations. It is shown
that such problems can be investigated using the wave approach.
Some analytical considerations and numerical calculations are done
for a two-mass system with a special case of boundary conditions.
