[NOTES/CM-09014] Angular Momentum of a Rigid Body

Node id: 6244page

The angular momentum of a rigid  body is given by  where \(\mathbf I\) is moment of inertia tensor and \(\vec \omega \) is the angular velocity.\begin{eqnarray} \vec{L}&=&\int dv \rho(\vec{X})\vec{X}\times(\vec{\omega}\times\vec{X})\\ &=&\int dV \rho(\vec{X})\Big[(\vec{X}\cdot\vec{X})\vec{\omega}-(\vec{X}\cdot\vec{\omega} )\vec{X}\Big] \end{eqnarray} or \(\vec L=\mathbf I\, \vec \omega\).

[NOTES/CM-09008] Specifying Orientation Using Body Axes

Node id: 6238page

A possible way of specifying the orientation of a rigid body is to give orientation of body fixed axes w.r.t. a space fixed axes.  Euler angles are a  useful set generalized coordinates to specify orientation of the body axes relative to a space fixed axis.

[NOTES/CM-09001] Degrees of Freedom of a Rigid Body

Node id: 6234page

By considering possible motions of a rigid body with one, two or three points fixed, we show that a rigid body has six degrees of freedom.

[NOTES/CM-09004] Kinetic Energy of Rigid Body

Node id: 6235page

An expression for the kinetic energy in terms of the moment of inertia tensor and the angular velocity w.r.t the body frame of reference is obtained. It is shown that \begin{equation}
\text{KE}=\sum_{ij} \omega_{bi} I_{ij}^{(b)} \omega_{ij}
\end{equation}
