A geometric setting for the theory of first-order mechanical systems subject to general nonholonomic constraints is presented. Mechanical systems under consideration are not supposed to be Lagrangian systems, and the constraints are not supposed to be of a special form in the velocities (as, e.g., affine or linear). A mechanical system is characterized by a certain equivalence class of 2-forms on the first jet prolongation of a fibered manifold. The nonholonomic constraints are defined to be a submanifold of the first jet prolongation. It is shown that this submanifold is canonically endowed with a distribution—this distribution (resp., its vertical subdistribution) has the meaning of generalized possible (resp., virtual) displacements. The concept of a constraint force is defined, and a geometric version of the principle of virtual work is proposed. From the principle of virtual work a formula for a workless constraint force is obtained. A mechanical system subject nonholonomic constraints is modeled as ...
