On the Kinematics for the Closed Planar Homothetic Inverse Motions in Complex Plane ()
1. Introduction
For a geometrical object rolling on a line and making a complete turn, some properties of the area of a path of a point were given by Steiner [1] . The Steiner area formula and the Holditch theorem during one-parameter closed planar homothetic motions were expressed by Tutar [2] . We want to explain the relation between the Steiner formula and the polar moment of inertia for the closed planar homothetic inverse motions in complex plane and find experimental data equivalents of the theoretical results in this study. We calculated the expression of the Steiner formula relative to the fixed coordinate system under one parameter closed planar motions in complex plane. If the points of the fixed plane which enclose the same area lie on a circle, then the centre of this circle is called the Steiner point (
) [3] [4] . If these points lie on a line, we use Steiner normal instead of Steiner point. Then we obtained the fixed pole point for the closed planar homothetic inverse motions. We dealt with the polar moment of inertia of a path generated by a closed planar homothetic inverse motion. Moreover, we expressed the relation between the area enclosed by a path and the polar moment of inertia. As an example, the sagittal motion of a telescopic crane which is described by a double hinge being fixed and moving was considered. The Steiner area formula, the fixed pole point and the polar moment of inertia were calculated for this motion. Furthermore, the relation between the Steiner formula and the polar moment of inertia was expressed.
2. Closed Homothetic Inverse Motions in Complex Plane
We consider one parameter closed planar homothetic motion between two reference systems: the fixed
and the moving
, with their origins
and orientations. Then, we take into account motion relative to the moving coordinate system (inverse motion). We know the motion defined by the transformation
is called one-parameter closed planar homothetic direct motion in complex plane.
By taking displacement vector
and
, the total angle of rotation
, the motion defined by the transformation
(1)
is called one-parameter closed planar homothetic inverse motion in complex plane and denoted by
, where
is a homothetic scale of the motion
,
and
are the position vectors with respect to the moving and fixed rectangular coordinate systems of a point
, respectively. The homothetic scale
and the vector
and
are continuously differentiable functions of a real parameter
.
In Equation (1),
is the trajectory with the respect to the moving system of a point
belonging to the fixed system.
If we consider the coordinates of the equation above,
,
,
,
we can write
(2)
From Equation (2), the components of
may be given as

If we show the coordinates of the Equation (1) as

If Equation (3) differentiated, we have

2.1. The Steiner Formula for the Homothetic Inverse Motions
The formula for the area
of a closed planar curve of the point
is given by
. (7)
If Equations (3) and (6) are replaced in Equation (7),
(8)
is obtained. The integral coefficients in Equation (8) can be shown as

If we show the trajectory of the orjin of the fixed system by
, we can say
. (10)
The coefficient
is defined by
(11)
with the rotation number
establishes whether the lines with
describing circles or straight lines. If
, then we have circles. If
, the circles reduce to straight lines. If Equations (9), (10) and (11) are substituted in Equation (8), then
(12)
can be written.
A Different Parametrization for the Integral Coefficients
Equation (5) by differentiation with respect to
yields
and if we use
for the pole point, we can write
(13)
Then if
is solved from Equation (13), we find
(14)
If Equation (14) is replaced in Equation (9),
(15)
can be rewritten. Also Equation (15) can be expressed as separately
(16)
(17)
Using Equations (16) and (17), we have
. (18)
2.2. Steiner Point or Steiner Normal for the Homothetic Inverse Motions
By taking
, the Steiner point
for the closed planar homothetic inverse motion can be written as
(19)
Then
(20)
is found. If we consider Equation (19) and Equation (20) is replaced in Equation (17),
(21)
is found. Equation (21) is called the Steiner area formula for the closed planar homothetic inverse motion.
By dividing Equation (21) by
and by completing the squares, one obtains the equation of a circle,
(22)
All the moving points of the fixed plane which pass around equal orbit areas under the motion
lie on the same circle with the center
(23)
in the fixed plane.
In the case of
, since
, the point
and the Steiner point
coincide [3] . Also by taking
, if it is replaced in Equation (18), then we have
(24)
Equation (24) is a straight line. If no complete loop occurs, then
and the circles are reduced to straight lines, in other words, to a circle whose center lies at infinity. The normal to the lines of equal areas in Equation (24) is given by
(25)
which is called the Steiner normal [5] .
2.3. The Fixed Pole Point for the Homothetic Inverse Motions
Using Equation (14), if
is solved,
(26)
is found for the fixed pole point
.
For
, using Equations (11) and (19), we arrive at the relation in Equation (20) between the Steiner point and the pole point.
For
, using Equations (16), (17) and (25), we arrive at the relation between the Steiner normal and the pole point below:
(27)
2.4. The Polar Moments of Inertia for the Homothetic Inverse Motions
Because of their mathematical structure, these averages may be interpreted as polar moments of inertia
for a path with closed homothetic motion. In this section we want to derive a formula combining
and the area
together.
A relation between the Steiner formula and the polar moment of inertia around the instantaneous pole can be found in [6] . Müller [3] proved a relation to the polar moment of inertia around the origin. Tölke [7] investigated the same for closed equiaffine mappings. Düldül and Kuruoğlu [8] generalized Müller’s results for homothetic motion.
If we use
as parametrization, we need to calculate
(28)
along the path of
. Then, using Equation (3)
(29)
is obtained.
We need calculate to the polar moments of inertia of the origin of the fixed system, therefore
, one obtains
(30)
If Equation (30) is replaced in Equation (29),
(31)
can be written. Also if Equation (14) is replaced in Equation (31),
(32)
is found and by considering Equations (16) and (30) together, we arrive at the relation between the polar moments of inertia and the formula for the area below:

3. Application: The Inverse Motion of the Telescopic Crane
In the previous sections we emphasized three concepts: geometrical objects as the Steiner point or the Steiner normal, the pole point, and the polar moments of inertia for closed homothetic inverse motions in complex plane. In this section, we want to visualize the experimentally measured motion with these objects. Accordingly, we consider these characteristic directions for this motion.
We will show that how the kinematical objects which used in the previous sections can be applied. Dathe and Gezzi considered human gait in planar motions [5] . As an example, we have chosen the sagittal part of the movement of the telescopic crane at motion. We have chosen the telescopic crane, because the arm of telescopic crane can extend or retract during one parameter closed planar homothetic motion. The motion of telescopic crane has a double hinge and “a double hinge” means that it has two systems, a fixed arm and a moving arm of telescopic crane (Figure 1). There is a control panel of telescopic crane at the origin of fixed system. “L” arm can extend or retract by h parameter.
3.1. The Mathematical Model by Inverse Motion
We start by writing the equations of the double hinge in cartesian coordinates. Then we define using the condition
, the Steiner normal and the total angle in relation to the double hinge.
By taking displacement vector
and
, the total angle of rotation
, the motion can be defined by the transformation
(34)
By taking
,

(35)
we have Equation (5) namely,
Also we know that
and
(36)
can be written. So the double hinge may be written as
(37)
where
is the resulting total angle.
We begin by calculating the time derivative of Equation (37). In this way, we obtain the velocities
which have to be inserted into Equation (7). Then we have
(38)
We now integrate the previous equation using periodic boundary conditions by assuming that the integrands as periodic functions. The periodicity of
implies that integrals of the following types vanish
. As a
result of this, some of integrals of Equation (38) are not equal to zero. If we use Equation (38) in the area formula
we finally obtain
(39)
We can write the integral coefficients in Equation (39) as
(40)
Differentiating Equation (36) with respect to
and then replacing both of them in Equation (40), Equation (9) is found for application.
In Section (2.1.1), using Equation (14),
(41)
is found and we have a straight line below:
. (42)
In this case, we have the Steiner normal
(43)
3.2. The Fixed Pole Point of the Inverse Telescopic Crane Motion
If Equation (36) is replaced in Equation (26), the pole point
with the components
(44)
is found and also by using Equations (43) and (44), we reach at the relation between the Steiner normal and the pole point (Equation (27)).
3.3. The Polar Moments of Inertia of the Inverse Telescopic Crane Motion
Using Equations (28) and (37), if Equation (36) is replaced in Equation (29)
(45)
is found. By considering Equations (41), (42) and (45) together, we arrive at the relation between the polar moments of inertia and the formula for the area below:
