On Applications of Semi-Analytical Methods of Contact Mechanics
This paper is concerned with possible applications of semi-analytical methods of frictional contact mechanics. The semi-analytical solutions, such as the Method of Memory Diagrams, enable the load-displacement relationship for contact of two axisymmetric

Udwadia–Kalaba Equation for Constrained Mechanical Systems: Formulation and Applications
There are many achievements in the field of analytical mechanics, such as Lagrange Equation, Hamilton’s Principle, Kane’s Equation. Compared to Newton–Euler mechanics, analytical mechanics have a wider range of applications and the formulation procedures

Dirac Brackets and Time-Dependent Constraints
We provide a simultaneous derivation of the Dirac bracket and of the equations of motion for second-class constrained systems when the constraints are time-dependent.

A proposal for improved colorbars for cloud and aerosol lidar parameters [PDF]
Currently, there are still many scientific publications showing lidar curtain images that are plotted with colormaps, such as the rainbow or jet, that poorly represent the data because they distort the information through non-linear changes in the ...

Close Binary Stars Modeled by Two Prolate Ellipsoids in Synchronous Rotation
The presence of tidal deformations in close binary stars has already been confirmed by astronomical observations. The present paper aims to simply address an astronomy problem, studying the relative movement of close binaries disturbed by their mutual ...

On the Origins of Hamilton’s Principle(s)
This entry first provides an overview of the historical, cultural and epistemological background that is key for Hamilton’s positions on mechanics. We consider the investigations on geometrical optics in the 17th and 18th centuries, Euler’s and Lagrange ...
