An introduction to unilateral dynamics
The paper deals with finite-dimensional multibody multicontact systems. The description of each unilateral interaction (contact) is formalized with the help of contact dynamics technique, introduced earlier by the author [Nonsmooth mechanics and applications, CISM Courses Lect. 302, 1--82 (1988; Zbl 0703.73070)]. This technique operates with the unilateral contact, possibly frictional and/or collisional, between rigid bodies in terms of elementary convex analysis. Mathematically, the resulting evolution problems in the smooth case are governed by differential inclusions. Such an approach allows to construct efficient numerical procedures which are demonstrated by two examples. Contents: 1. Purpose; 2. The differential handling of inequality conditions; 3.
