... with column matrices containing scalar generalized constraint forces. Other research, presented in Refs. [ 6–10 ], has been undertaken with a view towards application to Kane's method, which is set forth in Ref. [ 11 ]. In a few works, such as Refs. [ 12–15 ], classical constraints are dealt with in terms...

..., previously discounted on the basis of a flawed application of the Newton–Euler method, are verified by using Kane’s method together with a new approach for determining the directions of constraint forces. 28 06 2007 29 12 2008 09 03 2009 classical mechanics force variational...
