Abstract

This paper investigates the third-order differential variational principles of mechanico-electrical systems and the third-order differential equations of motion for holonomic mechanico-electrical systems. Based on Newton’s laws of motion of mechanical systems and Kirchhoff’s voltage laws of circuit systems, the third-order d’Alembert principles of mechanico-electrical systems are proposed, the third-order d’Alembert-Lagrange principle of mechanico-electrical systems is established and the parametric forms of Euler-Lagrange, Nielsen and Appell for this principle are given. Finally, the several different forms of the third-order differential equations of motion for holonomic mechanico-electrical systems are obtained.
