In the previous chapter, variational and energy principles were derived for dynamical system. Various formulations were addressed including d’Alembert’s principle, Hamilton’s principle and Lagrange’s formulation. In all cases, developments were limited to unconstrained dynamical systems. This means that the number of generalized coordinates used to represent the configuration of the system was equal the number of degrees of freedom of the system.
