Abstract:This study is focused on a critical issue related to the direct and consistent application of Newton’s law of motion to a special but large class of mechanical systems, involving equality motion constraints. For these systems, it is advantageous to employ the general analytical dynamics framework, where their motion is represented by a curve on a non-flat configuration manifold. The geometric properties of this manifold, providing the information needed for setting up the equations of motion of the system exam… Show more
