This paper investigates the dynamics of nonholonomic mechanical systems, with a particular focus on the fundamental variational assumptions and the role of the transpositional rule. We analyze how the $\check Cetaev condition and the first…
This paper investigates the dynamics of nonholonomic mechanical systems, focusing on fundamental variational assumptions and the role of the transpositional rule. We analyze how the Cetaev condition and the first variation of constraints…
The aim of this study is to present an alternative way to deduce the equations of motion of general (i.e., also nonlinear) nonholonomic constrained systems starting from the d'Alembert principle and proceeding by an algebraic procedure. The…
Variational principles play a central role in classical mechanics, providing compact formulations of dynamics and direct access to conserved quantities. While holonomic systems admit well-known action formulations, non-holonomic systems --…
We consider the compatibility of the equations of motion which follow from d'Alembert's principle in the case of a general autonomous non-holonomic mechanical system in N dimensions, with those equations which follow for the same system by…
I consider the equations of motion which follow from d'Alembert's principle for a general mechanical system in a space of N dimensions, constrained by a non-holonomic constraint which is linear and homogeneous in the generalised velocities.…
In this paper, we present a Lagrangian formalism for nonequilibrium thermodynamics. This formalism is an extension of the Hamilton principle in classical mechanics that allows the inclusion of irreversible phenomena in both discrete and…
Vakonomic mechanics has been proposed as a possible description of the dynamics of systems subject to nonholonomic constraints. The aim of the present work is to show that for an important physical system the motion brought about by…
We propose a new description of dynamics of autonomous mechanical systems which includes the momentum-velocity relation. This description is formulated as a variational principle of virtual action more complete than the Hamilton Principle.…
In this paper we study a Hamiltonization procedure for mechanical systems with velocity-depending (nonholonomic) constraints. We first rewrite the nonholonomic equations of motion as Euler-Lagrange equations, with a Lagrangian that follows…
We discuss a recently proposed variational principle for deriving the variational equations associated to any Lagrangian system. The principle gives simultaneously the Lagrange and the variational equations of the system. We define a new…
In this paper, we develop a Hamiltonian variational formulation for the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of simple adiabatically closed systems that is an extension of Hamilton's phase space principle in mechanics. We introduce the…
Based on the d'Alembert-Lagrange-Poincar\'{e} variational principle, we formulate general equations of motion for mechanical systems subject to nonlinear nonholonomic constraints, that do not involve Lagrangian undetermined multipliers. We…
We construct an operational formulation of classical mechanics without presupposing previous results from analytical mechanics. In doing so, several concepts from analytical mechanics will be rediscovered from an entirely new perspective.…
Virtual constraints are invariant relations imposed on a control system via feedback as opposed to real physical constraints acting on the system. Nonholonomic systems are mechanical systems with non-integrable constraints on the…
Any given system of ordinary differential equations in $n$-dimensional configuration space can be obtained from a peculiar variational problem with one local symmetry. The obtained action functional leads to the Hamiltonian formulation in…
We study relations between vakonomically and nonholonomically constrained Lagrangian dynamics for the same set of linear constraints. The basic idea is to compare both situations at the level of variational principles, not equations of…
One of the founders of the mechanics of nonoholonomic systems is Voronec who published in 1901 a significant generalization of the Caplygin's equations, by removing some restrictive assumptions. In the frame of nonholonomic systems, the…
The derivation of the equations of motion for nonholonomic systems remains a central issue in analytical mechanics, primarily due to the tension between the d'Alembert-Lagrange differential principle and integral variational approaches.…
Lagrangian mechanics uses d'Alembert's principle of zero virtual work as an important starting point. The orthogonality of the force of constraint and virtual displacement is emphasized in literature, without a clear warning that this is…
