Definition 7.1.1. Holonomic Constraints.
Constraints which lead to equations of the type
\begin{equation}
f(\bq, t ) = 0\tag{7.1.1}
\end{equation}
are said to be holonomic constraints.
0
\((O, \bx_0, \by_0, \bz_0)\) denotes the pump housing. A piston thrust plate is attached to 0
and is inclined with constant angle \(\alpha\text{.}\) The value of angle \(\alpha\) can be adjusted to vary the pump volumetric volume.1
is the rotationally-driven pump barrel: it is rotating relative to
0= about axis \((A, \bx_0)\text{.}\) Body 2
is a piston connected to 1
by sliding along axis \((B, \bx_0)\text{.}\) Only one piston is shown in the diagram. Piston 2
is in contact at all time with the inclined thrust plate at a point \(J\text{.}\) A spring (not shown) guarantees that contact is always realized.
