A brief survey of theoretical and practical applications of the complementarity principle in multibody systems with many multiple unilateral contacts is presented. Considered in a straightforward manner such systems involve a combinatorial problem of many dimensions, which can only be solved reasona

โฆ Synopsis
Derivations and formulations are given of the variational principles of analytical mechanics for systems with unilateral ideal smooth constraints, originally established for systems with bilateral constraints. The virtual work principle, the Fourier inequality, the d'Alembert-Lagrange principle, the Gauss principle of least constraint and its modification -the Chetayev principle of maximum work, the Jourdain principle, the Hamilton-Ostrogradskii principle, the principle of least action in Lagrangian and Jacobian forms, and the Suslov-Voronets principle are described.

Mechanical systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom, subject to one or more unilateral geometric constraints, are considered. Apart from the main forms of motion--flying, supported motion and non-degenerate collisions---such systems also show more complex, discontinuous motions, including
