Abstract: In this paper, the equations of motion for nonholonomic mechanicalsystem with unilateral holonomic constraints and unilateral nonholonomic constraintsare presented, and an example to illustrate the application of the result is given.

Key words: analytical mechanics, unilateral constraint, nonholonomic system, equation of motion
