Abstract: This paper deals with the description of constrained motion within the context of classical dynamics. An alternative, and simpler, proof for the recently developed new equation of motion for constrained systems is presented. ...

Abstract: This paper deals with mechanical systems subjected to a general class of non-ideal equality constraints. It provides the explicit equations of motion for such systems when subjected to such nonideal, holonomic and/or ...

Abstract: In this paper we obtain the explicit equations of motion for mechanical systems under nonideal constraints without the use of generalized inverses. The new set of equations is shown to be ...
