Book Synopsis Nonholonomic Motion of Rigid Mechanical Systems from a DAE Viewpoint by : Patrick J. Rabier
Download or read book Nonholonomic Motion of Rigid Mechanical Systems from a DAE Viewpoint written by Patrick J. Rabier. This book was released on 2000-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several issues are investigated in depth to provide a sound and complete justification of the DAE model. These issues include the development of a generalized Gauss principle of least constraint, a study of the effect of the failure of an important full-rank condition, and a precise characterization of the state spaces. In particular, when the mentioned full-rank condition is not satisfied, this book shows how a new set of equivalent constraints can be constructed in a completely intrinsic way, where, in general, these new constraints comply with the full-rank requirement.
