11. 11 The Need for Initial Conditions Informally, consider an ordinary differential equation with 2 states The differential equation specifies a “velocity” field in 2D An IC specifies a starting point in 2D Solving the IVP simply means finding a curve in 2D that starts at the specified IC and is always tangent to the local velocity field

22. 22 Reaction Forces Remember that we jumped through some hoops to get rid of the reaction forces that develop in joints Now, we want to go back and recover them, since they are important: Durability analysis Stress/Strain analysis Selecting bearings in a mechanism Etc. The key ingredient needed to compute the reaction forces in all joints is the set of Lagrange multipliers

23. 23 Reaction Forces: The Basic Idea Recall the partitioning of the total force acting on the mechanical system Applying a variational approach (principle of virtual work) we ended up with this equation of motion After jumping through hoops, we ended up with this: It’s easy to see that
