Mechanical systems subject to holonomic constraints: Differential–algebraic formulations and conservative integration
نویسنده
چکیده
The numerical integration in time of the equations of motion for mechanical systems subject to holonomic constraints is considered. Schemes are introduced for the direct treatment of a differential–algebraic form of the equations that preserve the constraints, the total energy, and other integrals such as linear and angular momentum arising from affine symmetries. Moreover, the schemes can be shown to preserve the property of time-reversibility in an appropriate sense. An example is given to illustrate various aspects of the proposed methods. ©1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 02.70.Ns; 02.60.Jh; 03.20.+i

متن کاملStable Underlying Equations for Constrained Hamil- tonian Systems
Constrained Hamiltonian systems represent a special class of differential algebraic equations appearing in many mechanical problems. We survey some possibilities for exploiting their rich geometric structures in the numerical integration of the systems. Our main theme is the construction of underlying equations for which the constraint manifold possesses good stability properties. As an applica...
متن کاملSpecialized Partitioned Additive Runge-Kutta Methods for Systems of Overdetermined DAEs with Holonomic Constraints
Abstract. We consider a general class of systems of overdetermined differential-algebraic equations (ODAEs). We are particularly interested in extending the application of the symplectic Gauss methods to Hamiltonian and Lagrangian systems with holonomic constraints. For the numerical approximation to the solution to these ODAEs, we present specialized partitioned additive Runge– Kutta (SPARK) m...
متن کاملBeyond conventional Runge-Kutta methods in numerical integration of ODEs and DAEs by use of structures and local models ?
There are two parts in this paper. In the first part we consider an overdetermined system of differential-algebraic equations (DAEs). We are particularly concerned with Hamiltonian and Lagrangian systems with holonomic constraints. The main motivation is in finding methods based on Gauss coefficients, preserving not only the constraints, symmetry, symplecticness, and variational nature of traje...
متن کاملOptimal control for holonomic and Pfaffian nonholonomic systems
Holonomic and Pfaffian nonholonomic systems are dynamical systems whose generalized coordinates and velocities are subject to smooth constraints. These systems are usually described by second order differential equations of motion and algebraic equations of constraint. We present an optimal control formulation for these systems that utilizes the multiplier rule to append both the equations of m...
