We develop a method for systematically constructing Lagrangian functions for dissipative mechanical, electrical and, mechatronic systems. We derive the equations of motion for some typical mechatronic systems using deterministic principles…
The mathematical theory underlying Hamiltonian mechanics is called symplectic geometry. So symplectic geometry arose from the roots of mechanics and is seen as one of the most valuable links between physics and mathematics today. Symplectic…
The geometry of a Lagrangian mechanical system is determined by its associated evolution semispray. We uniquely determine this semispray using the symplectic structure and the energy of the Lagrange space and the external force field. We…

The aim of this work is to provide a possible philosophical motivation to the variational principles of physics in general and a possible way to unify the axiomatizations of mechanics theories. The leitmotif of this work is a dialectical…
This work is devoted to review the modern geometric description of the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms of the Hamilton--Jacobi theory. The relation with the "classical" Hamiltonian approach using canonical transformations is also…
In classical mechanics, the 'geometry of motion' refers to a development to visualize the motion of freely spinning bodies. In this paper, such an approach of studying the rotational motion of axisymmetric variable mass systems is…
