By analyzing these non-regularities successively this work explores the set of equilibria and properties of periodic solutions of elementary mechanical systems, where no classical results issued from the theory of ordinary differential equations are readily available, such as stability, continuation or approximation of solutions. The authors focus on unilateral contact in presence of Coulomb friction and show, in particular, how any regularization would greatly simplify the mathematics but lead to unacceptable physical responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alain Léger,Elaine Pratt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785480944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785480942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iste Press - Elsevier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Alain Léger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136895332607,"sku":"9781785480942","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efe7f69e-fe98-4a63-b156-7f35015dbe16.jpg?v=1770165172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/qualitative-analysis-of-nonsmooth-dynamics-alain-lzsger-9781785480942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
