Lyapunov stability of a rigid body with two frictional contacts
Péter L. Várkonyi, Yizhar Or
Lyapunov stability of a mechanical system means that the dynamic response stays bounded in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of a static equilibrium configuration under small pertu…

Dynamics of mechanical systems with multiple sliding contacts: new faces of Painlevé's paradox
Péter L. Várkonyi
We investigate the dynamics of finite degree-of-freedom, planar mechanical systems with multiple sliding, unilateral frictional point contacts. A complete classification of systems…

The Painleve paradox in contact mechanics
Alan R Champneys, Peter L Varkonyi
The 120-year old so-called Painleve paradox involves the loss of determinism in models of planar rigid bodies in point contact with a rigid surface, subject to Coulomb-like dry fri…
