On the Inconsistency of Rigid-Body Frictional Planar Mechanics
Conference Paper, Proceedings of (ICRA) International Conference on Robotics and Automation, Vol. 1, pp. 524 - 528, April, 1988
Abstract
The problem of a thin rigid rod sliding on a horizontal surface in the plane is considered. This problem is commonly cited as an example of the inconsistency of planar rigid-body Newtonian mechanics. The existence of a consistent solution, using Routh's analysis of rigid-body impact is demonstrated.
