D'Alembert's principle
Definition(s)
- D'Alembert's principle is another way of formulating Newton's second law of motion. The principle has been defined as "the negative of the product of mass times acceleration. If this force is added to the impressed force there is equilibrium, which means that the principle of virtual work is satisfied." It constitutes an extension of the principle of virtual work from static to dynamical systems. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D%27Alembert%27s_principle)
