On D’Alembert’s Principle

Larry M. Bates, James M. Nester (2011)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

A formulation of the D’Alembert principle as the orthogonal projection of the acceleration onto an affine plane determined by nonlinear nonholonomic constraints is given. Consequences of this formulation for the equations of motion are discussed in the context of several examples, together with the attendant singular reduction theory.

Symmetries and currents in nonholonomic mechanics

Michal Čech, Jana Musilová (2014)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we derive general equations for constraint Noethertype symmetries of a first order non-holonomic mechanical system and the corresponding currents, i.e. functions constant along trajectories of the nonholonomic system. The approach is based on a consistent and effective geometrical theory of nonholonomic constrained systems on fibred manifolds and their jet prolongations, first presented and developed by Olga Rossi. As a representative example of application of the geometrical...

On second order Hamiltonian systems

Dana Smetanová (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The aim of the paper is to announce some recent results concerning Hamiltonian theory. The case of second order Euler–Lagrange form non-affine in the second derivatives is studied. Its related second order Hamiltonian systems and geometrical correspondence between solutions of Hamilton and Euler–Lagrange equations are found.
