Noether's theorem of nonholonomic systems of non-Chetaev's type with unilateral constraints

Abstract

In this paper, we present Noether's theorem and its inverse theorem for nonholonomic systems of non-Chetaev's type with unilateral constraints. We present first the principle of Jourdain for the system and, on the basis of the invariance of the differential variational principle under the infinitesimal transformations of groups, we have established Noether's theory for the above systems. An example is given to illustrate the application of the result.
