Abstract: In this paper, the Gibbs-Appell’s equations of motion are extended to the most general variable mass nonholonomie mechanical systems. Then the Gibbs-Appell’s equations of motion in terms of generalized coordinates or quasi-coordinates and an integral variational principle of variable mass nonlinear nonholonomie mechanical systems are obtained. Finally, an example is given.
