  2. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    Torque-free precessions are non-trivial solution for the situation where the torque on the right hand side is zero. When I is not constant in the external reference frame (i.e. the body is moving and its inertia tensor is not constantly diagonal) then I cannot be pulled through the derivative operator acting on L.

    However, the moment (torque) of a couple is independent of the reference point P: Any point will give the same moment. [1] In other words, a couple, unlike any more general moments, is a "free vector". (This fact is called Varignon's Second Moment Theorem.) [2]

  5. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varignon's_theorem_(mechanics)

    Varignon's theorem is a theorem of French mathematician Pierre Varignon (1654–1722), published in 1687 in his book Projet d'une nouvelle mécanique.The theorem states that the torque of a resultant of two concurrent forces about any point is equal to the algebraic sum of the torques of its components about the same point.

  7. Inverse dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_dynamics

    Inverse dynamics is an inverse problem.It commonly refers to either inverse rigid body dynamics or inverse structural dynamics.Inverse rigid-body dynamics is a method for computing forces and/or moments of force (torques) based on the kinematics (motion) of a body and the body's inertial properties (mass and moment of inertia).

  8. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The problem with this definition is that it does not give the direction of the torque but only the magnitude, and hence it is difficult to use in three-dimensional cases. If the force is perpendicular to the displacement vector r , the moment arm will be equal to the distance to the centre, and torque will be a maximum for the given force.

  9. Resultant force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resultant_force

    In physics and engineering, a resultant force is the single force and associated torque obtained by combining a system of forces and torques acting on a rigid body via vector addition. The defining feature of a resultant force, or resultant force-torque, is that it has the same effect on the rigid body as the original system of forces. [1]
