Theorem 9.8.1. Kinetic/Dynamic Screws and Kinetic Energy of a System of Rigid Bodies.
The kinetic screw, the dynamic screw and the kinetic energy of a system \(\Sigma\) of \(N\) rigid bodies \(\{ \cB_1 , \cB_2 , \ldots \cB_N \}\) relative to a referential \(\cE\) are given by
\begin{equation}
\{ \cH_{\Sigma / \cE} \} = \{ \cH_{\cB_1 / \cE} \} +\{ \cH_{\cB_2 / \cE} \}+
\cdots + \{ \cH_{\cB_N / \cE} \}\tag{9.8.1}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\{ \cD_{\Sigma / \cE} \} = \{ \cD_{\cB_1 / \cE} \} +\{ \cD_{\cB_2 / \cE} \}+
\cdots + \{ \cD_{\cB_N / \cE} \}\tag{9.8.2}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\kin_{\Sigma / \cE} = \kin_{\cB_1 / \cE} + \kin_{\cB_2 / \cE} +
\cdots + \kin_{\cB_N / \cE} \tag{9.8.3}
\end{equation}
