Singular constraints in rigid-body dynamics
Abstract
The usual assumption on smooth constraint reactions is shown to lead to an inconsistency for a particular problem of plane motion of a rigid body. The singular nature of the problem is illustrated by treating it as the limit of a sequence of well-posed problems.
