Mechanical Integrators Derived froma Discrete Variational
Many numerical integrators for mechanical system simulation are created by using discrete algorithms to approximate the continuous equations of motion. In this paper, we present a procedure to construct time-stepping algorithms that approximate the ow of continuous ODE's for mechanical systems by discretizing Hamilton's principle rather than the equations of motion. The discrete equations share...
متن کاملDiscrete Hamiltonian variational integrators
We derive a variational characterization of the exact discrete Hamiltonian, which is a Type II generating function for the exact flow of a Hamiltonian system, by considering a Legendre transformation of Jacobi’s solution of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. This provides an exact correspondence between continuous and discrete Hamiltonian mechanics, which arise from the continuousand discrete-time H...
متن کاملDiscrete mechanics and variational integrators
This paper gives a review of integration algorithms for finite dimensional mechanical systems that are based on discrete variational principles. The variational technique gives a unified treatment of many symplectic schemes, including those of higher order, as well as a natural treatment of the discrete Noether theorem. The approach also allows us to include forces, dissipation and constraints ...
متن کاملThe Jacobi-Maupertuis Principle in Variational Integrators
In this paper, we develop a hybrid variational integrator based on the Jacobi-Maupertuis Principle of Least Action. The Jacobi-Maupertuis principle states that for a mechanical system with total energy E and potential energy V{q), the curve traced out by the system on a constant energy surface minimizes the action given by / y^2{E — V{q))ds where ds is the line element on the constant energy su...
