New adiabatic invariants for disturbed non-material volumes (Q6184191)

The framework of the present paper is the field of non-material volumes, and specifically the dynamics induced by the so-called Mei symmetry for disturbed non-material volumes. After formulating the Lagrangian formalism of such a system and defining the Mei symmetrical perturbation in this context, new adiabatic invariants are obtained which, in particular cases, reproduce the expression of exact invariants previously obtained in the literature. The evolution of these adiabatic invariants is tested on a particular example of application, namely the motion of a rocket under an external force proportional to the displacement times the mass of the rocket.
