What is A non-linear non-holonomic formulation of the Appell-Hamel problem about?

The Appell-Hamel non-holonomic problem which is intrinsically linear, has been formulated by the same authors as a non-linear problem by means of a limiting procedure. This limiting process has been shown to be incorrect, in addition to being unnecessary in problems with rolling-type contact, where the constraint relations are known to be linear. It is well established however, that there exist non-linear non-holonomic constraints that arise from sources other than rolling-type contact. In order to be able to study the effect of constraints that arise from sources other than rolling, the Appell-Hamel problem is reformulated in terms of non-linear non-holonomic constraints, leading to the same results as the linear formulation, thus validating the non-linear analysis. A complete set of constants of the motion are derived, and limiting motions are investigated. The paper concludes with a description of the general method of solution to determine the time-history of the generalized coordinates. It ends with a detailed discussion of the numerical integration of the equations of motion. 0 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
