چکیده
This paper develops a new, simple, general, and explicit form of the equations of motion for general constrained mechanical systems that can have holonomic and/or nonholonomic constraints that may or may not be ideal, and that may contain either positive semi-definite or positive definite mass matrices. This is done through the replacement of the actual unconstrained mechanical system, which may have a positive semi-definite mass matrix, with an unconstrained auxiliary system whose mass matrix is positive definite and which is subjected to the same holonomic and/or nonholonomic constraints as those applied to the actual unconstrained mechanical system. A simple, unified fundamental equation that gives in closed-form both the acceleration of the constrained mechanical system and the constraint force is obtained. The results herein provide deeper insights into the behavior of constrained motion and open up new approaches to modeling complex, constrained mechanical systems, such as those encountered in multi-body dynamics.

The Comparison of Direct and Indirect Optimization Techniques in Equilibrium Analysis of Multibody Dynamic Systems
The present paper describes a set of procedures for the solution of nonlinear static-equilibrium problems in the complex multibody mechanical systems. To find the equilibrium position of the system, five optimization techniques are used to minimize the total potential energy of the system. Comparisons are made between these techniques. A computer program is developed to evaluate the equality co...
متن کاملDesign of a Constrained Nonlinear Controller using Firefly Algorithm for Active Suspension System
Active vehicle suspension system is designed to increase the ride comfort and road holding of vehicles. Due to limitations in the external force produced by actuator, the design problem encounters the constraint on the control input. In this paper, a novel nonlinear controller with the input constraint is designed for the active suspension system. In the proposed method, at first, a constrained...

We establish a relationship between general constrained pseudoconvex optimization problems and globally projected dynamical systems. A corresponding novel neural network model, which is globally convergent and stable in the sense of Lyapunov, is proposed. Both theoretical and numerical approaches are considered. Numerical simulations for three constrained nonlinear optimization problems a...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Robust Observer for General Form Nonlinear System: Theory, Design and Implementation
The problem of observer design for nonlinear systems has got great attention in the recent literature. The nonlinear observer has been a topic of interest in control theory. In this research, a modified robust sliding-mode observer (SMO) is designed to accurately estimate the state variables of nonlinear systems in the presence of disturbances and model uncertainties. The observer has a simple ...
متن کاملWhat is the General Form of the Explicit Equations of Motion for Constrained Mechanical Systems ?
Since its inception more than 200 years ago, analytical mechanics has been continually drawn to the determination of the equations of motion for constrained mechanical systems. Following the fundamental work of Lagrange @1# who bequeathed to us the so-called Lagrange multipliers in the process of determining these equations, numerous scientists and mathematicians have attempted this central pro...
