%0 Journal Article %T A special feature of employment of Lagrange¡¯s equations to the scleronomic mechanical systems %A Ihor Zanevskyy %A Lyudmyla Zanevska %J Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part C: Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science %@ 2041-2983 %D 2018 %R 10.1177/0954406217706722 %X The research aims to reduce the volume of mathematical manipulations during a derivation of Lagrange¡¯s equations of scleronomic mechanical systems. Corresponding equations are derived using a direct substitution of the kinetic energy expression as homogenous quadratic function in Lagrange¡¯s equations of a general form. The reduction of mathematical manipulations is obtained avoiding of a member, which appears firstly as positive and secondly as a negative expression. A half of nonzero terms can be omitted using this shape of Lagrange¡¯s equations of the second type.
