Variational 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...
متن کاملVariational Principles for Compressible and Incompressible Systems
Some of the results of a previous paper 1 on the relations between adiabatic and incompressible systems are the establishing of a variational energy principle for incompressible systems and consequently of comparison theorems for stability of adiabatic and incompressible perturbations of the same equilibrium state. In this paper we extend these analyses to the most general compressible regimes ...
متن کاملOn the Construction of Variational Integrators for Optimal Control of Nonholonomic Mechanical Systems
In this paper we derive variational integrators for optimal control problems of nonholonomic mechanical systems. We rewrite the system as a constrained second-order variational problem, that is, as a problem where the Lagrangian and constraints are defined in terms of the position, velocity and the acceleration of the system. Instead of discretizing directly the equations of motion, we discreti...
متن کاملOn Colissions in Nonholonomic Systems
We consider nonholonomic systems with elastic collisions and propose a concept of generalised solutions to Lagrange-d’Alembert equations. In the light of this concept we describe dynamics of the collisions. Several applications have been investigated. 1. The Description of the Problem Let us start from the following model example. There is a solid ball B of radius r and of mass m and let its ce...
متن کاملVariational principles for spin systems and the Kirchhoff rod
We obtain the affine Euler-Poincaré equations by standard Lagrangian reduction and deduce the associated Clebsch-constrained variational principle. These results are illustrated in deriving the equations of motion for continuum spin systems and Kirchhoff’s rod, where they provide a unified geometric interpretation.
