Abstract
A formulation using dual-number coordinate transformations is developed to calculate the accelerations within the plane joint, a complex joint where the displacements are naturally expressed in different coordinate frames. The calculation of the accelerations in the Tracta constant-velocity shaft coupling is presented as an example of how the methodology can be applied in an automatic-computation scheme applicable to many types of mechanisms including those with a plane joint.
