New General Principle of Mechanics and Its Application to General Nonideal Nonholonomic Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we develop a general minimum principle of analytical dynamics that is applicable to nonideal constraints. The new principle encompasses Gauss’s Principle of Least Constraint. We use this principle to obtain the general, explicit, equations of motion for holonomically and/or nonholonomically constrained systems with non-ideal constraints. Examples of a nonholonomically constrained system where the constraints are nonideal, and of a system with sliding friction, are presented. DOI: 10.1061/~ASCE!0733-9399~2005!131:4~444!

Explicit Equations of Motion for Mechanical Systems With Nonideal Constraints
Since its inception about 200 years ago, Lagrangian mechanics has been based upon the Principle of D’Alembert. There are, however, many physical situations where this confining principle is not suitable, and the constraint forces do work. To date, such situations are excluded from general Lagrangian formulations. This paper releases Lagrangian mechanics from this confinement, by generalizing D’...
متن کاملNonlocal Vibration of Y-SWCNT Conveying Fluid Considering a General Nonlocal Elastic Medium
In this paper, a nonlocal foundation model is proposed to analyze the vibration and instability of a Y-shaped single-walled carbon nanotube (Y-SWCNT) conveying fluid. In order to achieve more accurate results, fourth order beam theory is utilized to obtain strain-displacement relations. For the first time, a nonlocal model is presented based on nonlocal elasticity and the effects of nonlocal fo...
متن کاملRelativistic non-Hamiltonian mechanics
Relativistic particle subjected to a general four-force is considered as a nonholonomic system. The nonholonomic constraint in fourdimensional space–time represents the relativistic invariance by the equation for four-velocity ulu + c = 0, where c is the speed of light in vacuum. In the general case, four-forces are non-potential, and the relativistic particle is a non-Hamiltonian system in fou...
متن کاملMechanical Systems With Nonideal Constraints: Explicit Equations Without the Use of Generalized Inverses
When constraints are applied to mechanical systems, additional forces of constraint are produced that guarantee their satisfaction. The development of the equations of motion for constrained mechanical systems has been pursued by numerous scientists and mathematicians, like Appell @1#, Beghin @2#, Chetaev @3#, Dirac @4#, Gauss @5#, Gibbs @6#, and Hamel @7#. All these investigators have used as ...
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...
