1. 1 Dynamics Differential equation relating input torques and forces to the positions (angles) and their derivatives. Like force = mass times acceleration.

2. 2 Euler-Lagrange Equations Equations of motion for unconstrained system of particles is straightforward (F = m x a). For a constrained system, in addition to external forces, there exist constrained forces which need to be considered for writing dynamic equations of motion. To obtain dynamic equations of motion using Euler-Lagrange procedure we don’t have to find the constrained forces explicitly.

3. 3 Holonomic Constraints

4. 4 Nonholonomic Constraints General expression for nonholonomic constraints is: Nonholonomic constraints contain velocity terms which cannot be integrated out. A rear powered front steering vehicle

5. 5 Consider a system of k particles, with corresponding coordinates, Often due to constraints or otherwise the position of k particles can be written in terms of n generalised coordinates (n < k), In this course we consider only holonomic constraints and for those constraints one can always find in principle n (n < k) independent generalised coordinates.

6. 6 Virtual Displacements Define virtual displacements from above by setting dt=0. In our case dq j are independent and satisfy all the constraints. If additional constraints have to be added to dq j to finally arrive at a statement of virtual displacements which have only independent dq j, we can replace dq j with

7. 7 Virtual Work Let F i be total force on every particle, then virtual work is defined as: Constraining forces do no work when a virtual displacement, i.e., displacement satisfying all the constraints, takes place (as is the case with holonomic constraints), so in equilibrium

8. 8 D’Alembert’s Principle D’Alembert’s principle states that, if one introduces a fictitious additional force, the negative of the rate of change of the momentum of particle i, then each particle will be in equilibrium.

21. 21 Frame for I and Omega The expression for the kinetic energy is the same whether we write it in body reference frame or the inertial frame but it is much easier to write I in body reference frame since it doesn’t change as the body rotates but its value in the inertial frame is always changing. So we write the angular velocity and the inertia matrix in the body reference frame.
