Abstract

While the classical holonomic constraints limit the freedom of motion through the position variables, and thus simultaneously through the velocity variables, the non-holonomic constraints, realized purely mechanically via (for example) rolling wheels, lead to a restriction of the velocities only, not of the positions. The non-holonomic constraints pertain to the kinematical constraints and can be either scleronomic or rheonomic. A transport car with two independent wheels is characterized by the fact that the mid-point cannot move in either of the two body-fixed directions, owing to the friction forces on the wheels.
