Özet

This paper presents the finite spatial displacements and spatial screw motions by using dual quaternions and Hamilton operators. The representations are considered as 4 \times 4 matrices and the relative motion for three dual spheres is considered in terms of Hamilton operators for a dual quaternion. The relation between Hamilton operators and the transformation matrix has been given in a different way. By considering operations on screw motions, representation of spatial displacements is also given.

Abstract

This paper presents the finite spatial displacements and spatial screw motions by using dual quaternions and Hamilton operators. The representations are considered as 4 \times 4 matrices and the relative motion for three dual spheres is considered in terms of Hamilton operators for a dual quaternion. The relation between Hamilton operators and the transformation matrix has been given in a different way. By considering operations on screw motions, representation of spatial displacements is also given.
