3 3 Anthony Bloch U of Michigan: , 1994-present Respect for his scholarly and personal qualities Respect his commitment to research collaboration with faculty and students Joint research publications on Hamiltonian systems with holonomic and nonholonomic constraints His influence on my subsequent research, including topics mentioned subsequently, has been profound Thank you, Tony, for our long and valued friendship

4 4 Multi-body control system? Multi-body systems are connections of rigid and deformable bodies Lagrangian and/or Hamiltonian formulations Inclusion of control features Primary motivation for classical physics Historical contributions from most important names in mathematics and science Modeling, analysis and computational challenges remain Importance in aerospace, robotics, biomechanics, etc. Technical challenges: complexity and singularities arise from the most common use of local coordinates

5 5 Themes of this presentation Multi-body systems defined by: Lumped masses elements Rigid bodies Interconnection and interaction structures Use configuration manifold to encode constraints from the interconnection structure Number of configuration variables is not minimal No singularities or ambiguities in definition of the configuration manifold Avoid use of Lagrange multipliers

6 New Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations for multi-body dynamics on a configuration manifold Key ingredients in the formulation Configuration manifold Hyper-regular Lagrangian function defined on the tangent bundle of the configuration manifold Relative simplicity of equations due to their geometric structure Globally valid descriptions for control analysis and computations A comment on prior work that follows this perspective 6

7 Background This presentation Research publications of Taeyoung Lee, Melvin Leok and Harris McClamroch: 2007 to present Global Formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds, by LeLeMc, Springer, to appear in 2016 Inspired by differential geometric concepts mechanics by Tony Bloch, Jerry Marsden and other participants in this workshop Cover the main formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics on manifolds for multi-body systems Illustrate the main themes with a few examples Comment on control analysis and computational tasks at the end 7

8 8 Framework for multi-body dynamics M is a differentiable manifold, embedded in a finite dimensional vector space M may have a product structure: M = M 1 M n M encodes holonomic constraints Linear manifolds Spherical manifolds, such as S 1, S 2 Lie group manifolds, such as SO(3) and SE(3) Hyper-regular Lagrangian function L : T M R 1 is L(q, q) = T ( q, q) U(q)

9 Action integral Multi-body Lagrangian dynamics Variations δq T q M at q M can be expressed in terms of orthogonal projections P (q) : R n T q M for q M Hamilton s variational principle Assume (q, q) : [t 0, t f ] T M. The variation of the action integral is zero iff the Lagrangian variational condition holds: { ( ) } P T d L(q, q) L(q, q) (q) = 0 dt q i q Equivalent to Arnold s theorem in Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics Defines a smooth Lagrangian vector field on T M 9

10 10 Multi-body Hamiltonian dynamics Legendre transformation (q, q) T M (q, µ) T M and Hamiltonian function H : T M R 1 are: µ = P T L(q, q) (q) q H(q, µ) = µ q L(q, q) Assume (q, µ) : [t 0, t f ] T M. The variation of the action integral is zero iff the Hamiltonian variational condition holds:

11 11 H(q, µ) q = P (q) µ µ = P T H(q, µ) (q) + q P T (q) + ( P T (q)µ x ) ( ) P T T (q)µ P (q) q ( P (q) P T (q) Defines a smooth Hamiltonian covector field on T M ) P T T (q)µ q H(q, µ) µ

12 Comments The challenge: find the orthogonal projection operator Solvable for configuration manifolds that have a product structure in terms of the previously mentioned example manifolds It is often easier to carry out the variational analysis by direct analysis Determine expressions for the infinitesimal variation of the configuration Use special group or geometric features of the configuration manifold, as in the previously mentioned example manifolds Follow standard variational procedures to obtain Euler Lagrange equations and Hamilton s equations 12

13 Lagrangians for multi-body dynamics Special form of the configuration manifold M = M 1 M 2 M n where M i is a differentiable manifold embedded in R 3, i = 1,..., n Special form of the Lagrangian function L(q, q) = 1 n n m 2 ij q i T q j U(q) i=1 j=1 q i M i, that is q = (q 1,..., q n ) M m ij R 1, i = 1,..., n, j = 1,..., n scalar m ij = m ji and n n matrix [m ij ] is positive definite U : R 3n R 1 is differentiable potential function 13
