Our definition is intrinsic in terms of vector fields on the bundle. For a connection on an affine bundle, our procedure can be applied after homogenization and restriction. Several applications in classical mechanics are provided.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/7827610.1088/1751-8121/aa9f71http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/78276oai:zaguan.unizar.es:78276info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E24-1info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/MTM2015-64166-C2-1-PJournal of Physics A-Mathematical and Theoretical 51, 6 (2018), 065201 [33 pp]All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
