On Carnot's theorem in time dependent impulsive mechanics.

Stefano Pasquero (2005)

Extracta Mathematicae

We show that the validity of the Carnot's theorem about the kinetic energy balance for a mechanical system subject to an inert impulsive kinetic constraint, once correctly framed in the time dependent geometric environment for Impulsive Mechanics given by the left and right jet bundles of the space-time bundle N, is strictly related to the frame of reference used to describe the system and then it is not an intrinsic property of the mechanical system itself. We analyze in details the class of frames...

On D’Alembert’s Principle

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

Communications in Mathematics

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.

On submanifolds and quotients of Poisson and Jacobi manifolds

Charles-Michel Marle (2000)

Banach Center Publications

We obtain conditions under which a submanifold of a Poisson manifold has an induced Poisson structure, which encompass both the Poisson submanifolds of A. Weinstein [21] and the Poisson structures on the phase space of a mechanical system with kinematic constraints of Van der Schaft and Maschke [20]. Generalizations of these results for submanifolds of a Jacobi manifold are briefly sketched.

On the analytic non-integrability of the Rattleback problem

H. R. Dullin, A.V. Tsygvintsev (2008)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

We establish the analytic non-integrability of the nonholonomic ellipsoidal rattleback model for a large class of parameter values. Our approach is based on the study of the monodromy group of the normal variational equations around a particular orbit. The imbedding of the equations of the heavy rigid body into the rattleback model is discussed.

On the determination of the potential function from given orbits

L. Alboul, J. Mencía, R. Ramírez, N. Sadovskaia (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The paper deals with the problem of finding the field of force that generates a given ( N - 1 )-parametric family of orbits for a mechanical system with N degrees of freedom. This problem is usually referred to as the inverse problem of dynamics. We study this problem in relation to the problems of celestial mechanics. We state and solve a generalization of the Dainelli and Joukovski problem and propose a new approach to solve the inverse Suslov’s problem. We apply the obtained results to generalize the...

On the inverse variational problem in nonholonomic mechanics

Olga Rossi, Jana Musilová (2012)

Communications in Mathematics

The inverse problem of the calculus of variations in a nonholonomic setting is studied. The concept of constraint variationality is introduced on the basis of a recently discovered nonholonomic variational principle. Variational properties of first order mechanical systems with general nonholonomic constraints are studied. It is shown that constraint variationality is equivalent with the existence of a closed representative in the class of 2-forms determining the nonholonomic system. Together with...

On weak solutions to the Lagrange-d'Alembert equation

Dmitry Treschev, Oleg Zubelevich (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider nonholonomic systems with collisions and propose a concept of weak solutions to Lagrange-d'Alembert equations. Using this concept we describe the dynamics of collisions. Collisions of a rotating ball and a rough floor are considered.
