Abstract: To study the Noether's theorem of nonholonomic systems of non-Chetaev's type with unilateral constraints in event space, firstly, the principle of D'Alembert-Lagrange for the systems with unilateral constraints in event space is presented, secondly, the Noether's theorem and the Noether's inverse theorem for the nonholonomic systems of non-Chetaev's type with unilateral constraints in event space are studied and obtained, which is based upon the invariance of the differential variational principle under the infinitesimal transformations of group, finally, an example is given to illustrate the application of the result.
