Variational integrators for constrained dynamical systems
A variational formulation of constrained dynamics is presented in the continuous and in the discrete setting. The existing theory on variational integration of constrained problems is extended by aspects on the initialization of simulations, the discrete Legendre transform and certain postprocessing steps. Furthermore, the discrete null space method which has been introduced in the framework of...
متن کاملStochastic Variational Partitioned Runge-Kutta Integrators for Constrained Systems
Stochastic variational integrators for constrained, stochastic mechanical systems are developed in this paper. The main results of the paper are twofold: an equivalence is established between a stochastic Hamilton-Pontryagin (HP) principle in generalized coordinates and constrained coordinates via Lagrange multipliers, and variational partitioned Runge-Kutta (VPRK) integrators are extended to t...
متن کاملVariational Integrators for Dynamical Systems with Rotational Degrees of Freedom
For the elastodynamic simulation of a geometrically exact beam, a variational integrator is derived from a PDE viewpoint. Variational integrators are symplectic and conserve discrete momentum maps and since the presented integrator is derived in the Lie group setting (unit quaternions for the representation of rotational degrees of freedom), it intrinsically preserves the group structure withou...
متن کاملGamma-convergence of Variational Integrators for Constrained Systems
For a physical system described by a motion in an energy landscape under holonomic constraints, we study the -convergence of variational integrators to the corresponding continuum action functional and the convergence properties of solutions of the discrete Euler–Lagrange equations to stationary points of the continuum problem. This extends the results in Müller and Ortiz (J. Nonlinear Sci. 14:...
متن کاملVariational Integrators for Hamiltonizable Nonholonomic Systems
We report on new applications of the Poincaré and Sundman timetransformations to the simulation of nonholonomic systems. These transformations are here applied to nonholonomic mechanical systems known to be Hamiltonizable (briefly, nonholonomic systems whose constrained mechanics are Hamiltonian after a suitable time reparameterization). We show how such an application permits the usage of vari...
