Abstract
This report shows that the treatment of play as an input-output operator in
mechanical networks leads to solutions which are unsatisfactory from a
physical point of view. This contrasts with a simple behavioural definition
of ideal play. With this definition, play cannot be treated in isolation as an
input-output relation. As a result, methods of non-linear feedback systems
are not readily applicable to establish well-posedness of solutions of
mechanical networks incorporating this play element. By means of simple
network examples this report explores the issues involved in establishing
well-posedness of mechanical networks incorporating springs, dampers,
masses and inerters together with the behavioural model of ideal
play. Connections with the approach of Nordin, Galic and Gutman are
analysed.
