Abstract:

Perpetual points have been defined in mathematics recently, and they arise by setting accelerations and jerks equal to zero for nonzero velocities. The significance of perpetual points for the dynamics of mechanical systems is ongoing research. In the linear natural, unforced mechanical systems, the perpetual points form the perpetual manifolds and are associated with rigid body motions. Extending the definition of perpetual manifolds, by considering equal accelerations, in a forced mechanical system, but not necessarily zero, the solutions define the augmented perpetual manifolds. If the displacements are equal and the velocities are equal, the state space defines the exact augmented perpetual manifolds obtained under the conditions of a theorem, and a characteristic differential equation defines the solution. As a continuation of the theorem herein, a corollary proved that different mechanical systems, in the exact augmented perpetual manifolds, have the same general solution, and, in case of the same initial conditions, they have the same motion. The characteristic differential equation leads to a solution defining the augmented perpetual submanifolds and the solution of several types of characteristic differential equations derived. The theory in a few mechanical systems with numerical simulations is verified, and they are in perfect agreement. The theory developed herein is supplementing the already-developed theory of augmented perpetual manifolds, which is of high significance in mathematics, mechanics, and mechanical engineering. In mathematics, the framework for specific solutions of many degrees of freedom nonautonomous systems is defined. In mechanics/physics, the wave-particle motions are of significance. In mechanical engineering, some mechanical system’s rigid body motions without any oscillations are the ultimate ones.
