Description
This significantly enlarged and expanded second edition, focuses on nonsmooth finite dimensional mechanical systems, subject to unilateral constraints. It contains a complete overview of the main problems in the areas of mathematics, mechanics, stability and control, which are of interest in this field. The following topics are discussed in detail and are illustrated with examples: Short dynamics; Multiple impacts; Feedback control; Moreau's sweeping process; Complimentary formulations. With a comprehensive bibliography of over a thousand references, this book is an indispensable source of information on the subject treated.
