Scalar force potentials in rigid multibody systems

From MaRDI portal





The author presents an extensive discussion of the title problem with a focus upon ``impact-free, non-smooth phenomenon (i.e. dry friction). The author develops a formulation intended to resolve both conceptual and mathematical difficulties with friction laws. The paper is divided into nine major sections or chapters. After an introductory chapter, in the second chapter the author discusses kinematic discontinuities associated with non-smooth surfaces. Then, in chapter 3 generalized Newton-Euler equations are derived for holonomic rheonomic systems. Chapter 4 introduces set-valued force laws into the analysis, and chapter 5 is devoted to the mathematical formulation of these laws. In chapter 6 the author presents a reformulation of force laws at the acceleration level, and in the seventh and eighth chapters scalar force values are exhibited and presented in a potential form. Finally, chapter 9 presents an application of the developed theory to an electropneumatic drilling machine. The paper is for the most part theoretical. Nevertheless, it should be of interest and use to practitioners as well as theoreticians working with dynamical systems with non-smooth surfaces.
