The in-pipe machine locomotes in the pipe on the principle of differential friction between the bristles and the pipe wall during the movement of the bristle forwards and backwards. These bristles are very important construction parts of the in-pipe machine. In order to define the locomotion of movement it is important to know the force situation on the bristles caused by its high deformation in the pipe. The determination of force situation brought us to a non-linear differential equation of the second order and determination of conditions for its solution. By this equation it is possible to describe the outline of large deformations of the construction part and to determine the forces affecting this part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
