Integrability for peaffian constrained systems: A geometrical theory

There exists an Ehresmann connection on the fibred constrained sub-manifold defined by Pfaffian differential constraints. It is proved that curvature of the connection is closely related to the d-σ commutation relation in the classical nonholonomic mechanics. It is also proved that conditions of complete integrability for Pfaffian systems in Frobenius sense are equivalent to the three requirements upon the conditional variations in the classical calculus of variations: (1) the variations belong to the constrained manifold, (2) variational operators commute with differential operators, (3) variations satisfy the Chetaev's conditions. Thus this theory verifies the conjecture or experience of researchers of mechanics on the integrability conditions in terms of variation calculus.

For a weakly nonholonomic system, the Lie symmetry and approximate Hojman conserved quantity of Appell equations are studied. Based on the Appell equations for a weakly nonholonomic system under special infinitesimal transformations of a group in which the time is invariable, the definition of the Lie symmetry of the weakly nonholonomic system and its first-degree approximate holonomic system are given. With the aid of the structure equation that the gauge function satisfies, the exact and approximate Hojman conserved quantities deduced directly from the Lie symmetry are derived. Finally, an example is given to study the exact and approximate Hojman conserved quantity of the system.

We focus on Mei symmetry for time scales nonshifted mechanical systems within Lagrangian framework and its resulting new conserved quantities. Firstly, the dynamic equations of time scales nonshifted holonomic systems and time scales nonshifted nonholonomic systems are derived from the generalized Hamilton’s principle. Secondly, the definitions of Mei symmetry on time scales are given and its criterions are deduced. Finally, Mei’s symmetry theorems for time scales nonshifted holonomic conservative systems, time scales nonshifted holonomic nonconservative systems and time scales nonshifted nonholonomic systems are established and proved, and new conserved quantities of above systems are obtained. Results are illustrated with two examples.

On the Noether symmetry and Lie symmetry of mechanical systems

The Noether symmetry is an invariance of Hamilton action under infinitesimal transformations of time and the coordinates. The Lie symmetry is an invariance of the differential equations of motion under the transformations. In this paper, the relation between these two symmetries is proved definitely and firstly for mechanical systems. The results indicate that all the Noether symmetries are Lie symmetries for Lagrangian systems meanwhile a Noether symmetry is a Lie symmetry for the general holonomic or nonholonomic systems provided that some conditions hold.

Conformal invariance for the nonholonomic constrained mechanical system of non-Chetaev’s type

The conformal invariance and conserved quantity for the nonholonomic system of non-Chetaev’s type are studied. Firstly, by introducing a one-parameter infinitesimal transformation group and its infinitesimal generator vector, the definition of conformal invariance and determining equation for the holonomic system which corresponds to a nonholonomic system of non-Chetaev’s type are provided, and the relationship between the system’s conformal invariance and Lie symmetry are discussed. Secondly, the conformal invariance of weak and strong Lie symmetry for the nonholonomic system of non-Chetaev’s type is given using restriction equations and additional restriction equations. Thirdly, the system’s corresponding conserved quantity is derived with the aid of a structure equation that the gauge function satisfies. Lastly, an example is given to illustrate the application of the method and its result.     

Equivalence of Dynamics for Nonholonomic Systems with Transverse Constraints

This paper is concerned with the dynamics of a mechanical system subject to nonintegrable constraints. In the first part, we prove the equivalence between the classical nonholonomic equations and those derived from the nonholonomic variational formulation, proposed by Kozlov in [10–12], for a class of constrained systems with constraints transverse to a foliation. This result extends the equivalence between the two formulations, proved for holonomic constraints, to a class of linear nonintegrable ones. In the second part, we derive the nonholonomic variational reduced equations for a constrained system with symmetry and constraint transverse to a principal bundle fibration, using a reduction procedure similar to the one developed in [5]. The resulting equations are compared with the nonholonomic reduced ones through mechanical examples.     

Reduction of some classical non-holonomic systems with symmetry

Two types of nonholonomic systems with symmetry are treated: (i) the configuration space is a total space of a G-principal bundle and the constraints are given by a connection; (ii) the configuration space is G itself and the constraints are given by left-invariant forms. The proofs are based on the method of quasicoordinates. In passing, a derivation of the Maurer-Cartan equations for Lie groups is obtained. Simple examples are given to illustrate the algorithmical character of the main results.     

Conformal invariance and conserved quantity of Mei symmetry for Appell equations in a nonholonomic system of Chetaev’s type

For a nonholonomic system of Chetaev’s type, the conformal invariance and the conserved quantity of Mei symmetry for Appell equations are investigated. First, under the infinitesimal one-parameter transformations of group and the infinitesimal generator vectors, Mei symmetry and conformal invariance of differential equations of motion for the system are defined, and the determining equation of Mei symmetry and conformal invariance for the system are given. Then, by means of the structure equation to which the gauge function is satisfied, the Mei-conserved quantity corresponding to the system is derived. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.

Another form of equations of motion for constrained multibody systems

This paper presents a new and simplified set of explicit equations of motion for constrained mechanical systems. The equations are applicable with both holonomic and nonholonomic systems and the constraints may, or may not, be ideal. It is shown that this set of equations is equivalent to governing equations developed earlier by others. The connection of these equations with Kane's equations is discussed. It is shown that the developed equations are directly applicable with controlled systems where the controlling forces and moments may be subject to constraints. Finally, a procedure is presented for determining which control force systems are equivalent. Examples are presented to demonstrate the advantages, features, and range of application of the equations.     

Theoretical derivation of the conservation equations for single phase flow in porous media: a continuum approach

This paper deals with the theoretical derivation of the conservation equations for single phase flow in a porous medium. The derivation is obtained within the framework of the continuum mechanics and classical thermodynamics. The adopted procedure provides the conservation equations of mass, momentum, mechanical energy, total energy, internal energy, entropy, temperature, enthalpy, Gibbs free energy and Helmholtz free energy. The obtained results highlight the connection between the basic equations of fluid mechanics and of fluid flow in porous media, as well as the restrictions and the limitations of Darcy’s law and Richards’ equation.
