Chapter 11: Dynamics of Rigid Bodies rigid body = a collection of particles whose relative positions are fixed. We will ignore the microscopic thermal vibrations occurring among a `rigid' body's atoms. 1 The inertia tensor Consider a rigid body that is composed of N particles. Give each particle an index α = 1 : : : N. The total mass is M = α mα. This body can be translating as well as rotating. P Place your moving/rotating origin on the body's CoM: Fig. 10-1. 1 the CoM is at R = m r0 M α α α 0 X where r α = R + rα = α's position wrt' fixed origin note that this implies mαrα = 0 α X 0 Particle α has velocity vf,α = dr α=dt relative to the fixed origin, and velocity vr,α = drα=dt in the reference frame that rotates about axis !~ . Then according to Eq. 10.17 (or page 6 of Chap. 10 notes): vf,α = V + vr,α + !~ × rα = α's velocity measured wrt' fixed origin and V = dR=dt = velocity of the moving origin relative to the fixed origin. What is vr,α for the the particles that make up this rigid body? 2 Thus vα = V + !~ × rα after dropping the f subscript 1 1 and T = m v2 = m (V + !~ × r )2 is the particle's KE α 2 α α 2 α α N so T = Tα the system's total KE is α=1 X1 1 = MV2 + m V · (!~ × r ) + m (!~ × r )2 2 α α 2 α α α α X X 1 1 = MV2 + V · !~ × m r + m (!~ × r )2 2 α α 2 α α α ! α X X where M = α mα = the system's total mass.

Also note that Ii;j = Ij;i ) the inertia tensor is symmetric. The diagonal elements Ii;i = the moments of inertia while the off–diagonal elements Ii6=j =the products of inertia 5 For a continuous body, mα ! dm = ρ(r)dV 3 2 dIi;j ! δi;j xk − xixj dm =1 !

If this body is also rotating about one of its principal axis, say, the ^z, then !~ = !^z and 1 T = I !2 rot 2 z which is the familiar formula for the rotational KE in terms of inertia Iz found in the elementary textbooks. 1 2 )those formulae with Trot = 2I! are only valid when the rotation axis !~ lies along one of the body's three principal axes. The procedure for determining the orientation of a body's principal axes of inertia is given in Section 11.5. 8 Angular Momentum The system's total angular momentum relative to the moving/rotating origin Orot is L = mαrα × vα α X where rα and vα are α'a position and velocity relative to Orot. Recall that vα = !~ × rα for this rigid body (Eqn. 10.17), so L = mαrα × (!~ × rα) α X Chapter 1 and problem 1-22 show that A × (B × A) = A2B − (A · B)A 2 so L = mα[rα!~ − (rα · !~ )rα] α X and the ith component of L is 2 Li = mα[rα!i − (rα · !~ )xα;i] α X And again use 3 3 3 2 2 rα = xα;k rα · !~ = xα;j!j !i = !jδi;j =1 j=1 j=1 Xk X X 9 So 3 3 3 L = m x2 ! δ − x ! x i α 0 α;k j i;j α;j j α;i1 α =1 j=1 j=1 X Xk X X 3 @ 3 A 2 = !j mα δi;j xα;k − xα;ixα;j j=1 α k=1 !

Note that 3 3 3 L = Lix^i = Iij!jx^i i=1 i=1 j=1 X X X = fIg · !~ Lets confirm this last step by explicitly doing the matrix multiplication: L1 I11 I12 I13 !1 L = L2 = fIg · !~ = I21 I22 I23 !2 0 1 0 1 0 1 L3 I31 I32 I33 !3 @ A @ A @ A I11!1 + I12!2 + I13!3 j I1j!j = I ! + I ! + I ! = I2 ! 0 21 1 22 2 23 3 1 0 Pj j j 1 I31!1 + I32!2 + I33!3 j I3j!j B P C @ A @ A which confirms L = fIg · !~ .

Consider the motion of a uniform disk rotat­ ing about a fixed axis passing through its center of gravity C perpendicular to the face of the disk, as shown in Figure 11-1. The motion of this disk may be de­ scribed in terms of the motions of each of its individual particles, but a better way to describe the motion is in terms of the angle through which the disk rotates.

  • Euler and the Dynamics of Rigid Bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps
    Euler and the dynamics of rigid bodies Sebastià Xambó Descamps Abstract. After presenting in contemporary terms an outline of the kinematics and dynamics of systems of particles, with emphasis in the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, we will consider briefly the main points of the historical unfolding that produced this understanding and, in particular, the decisive role played by Euler. In our presentation the main role is not played by inertial (or Galilean) observers, but rather by observers that are allowed to move in an arbitrary (smooth, non-relativistic) way. 0. Notations and conventions The material in sections 0-6 of this paper is an adaptation of parts of the Mechanics chapter of XAMBÓ-2007. The mathematical language used is rather standard. The read- er will need a basic knowledge of linear algebra, of Euclidean geometry (see, for exam- ple, XAMBÓ-2001) and of basic calculus. 0.1. If we select an origin in Euclidean 3-space , each point can be specified by a vector , where is the Euclidean vector space associated with . This sets up a one-to-one correspondence between points and vectors . The inverse map is usually denoted . Usually we will speak of “the point ”, instead of “the point ”, implying that some point has been chosen as an origin. Only when conditions on this origin become re- levant will we be more specific. From now on, as it is fitting to a mechanics context, any origin considered will be called an observer. When points are assumed to be moving with time, their movement will be assumed to be smooth.

  • Rigid Body Dynamics II
    An Introduction to Physically Based Modeling: Rigid Body Simulation IIÐNonpenetration Constraints David Baraff Robotics Institute Carnegie Mellon University Please note: This document is 1997 by David Baraff. This chapter may be freely duplicated and distributed so long as no consideration is received in return, and this copyright notice remains intact. Part II. Nonpenetration Constraints 6 Problems of Nonpenetration Constraints Now that we know how to write and implement the equations of motion for a rigid body, let's consider the problem of preventing bodies from inter-penetrating as they move about an environment. For simplicity, suppose we simulate dropping a point mass (i.e. a single particle) onto a ®xed ¯oor. There are several issues involved here. Because we are dealing with rigid bodies, that are totally non-¯exible, we don't want to allow any inter-penetration at all when the particle strikes the ¯oor. (If we considered our ¯oor to be ¯exible, we might allow the particle to inter-penetrate some small distance, and view that as the ¯oor actually deforming near where the particle impacted. But we don't consider the ¯oor to be ¯exible, so we don't want any inter-penetration at all.) This means that at the instant that the particle actually comes into contact with the ¯oor, what we would like is to abruptly change the velocity of the particle. This is quite different from the approach taken for ¯exible bodies. For a ¯exible body, say a rubber ball, we might consider the collision as occurring gradually. That is, over some fairly small, but non-zero span of time, a force would act between the ball and the ¯oor and change the ball's velocity.

  • Rotation: Moment of Inertia and Torque
    Rotation: Moment of Inertia and Torque Every time we push a door open or tighten a bolt using a wrench, we apply a force that results in a rotational motion about a fixed axis. Through experience we learn that where the force is applied and how the force is applied is just as important as how much force is applied when we want to make something rotate. This tutorial discusses the dynamics of an object rotating about a fixed axis and introduces the concepts of torque and moment of inertia. These concepts allows us to get a better understanding of why pushing a door towards its hinges is not very a very effective way to make it open, why using a longer wrench makes it easier to loosen a tight bolt, etc. This module begins by looking at the kinetic energy of rotation and by defining a quantity known as the moment of inertia which is the rotational analog of mass. Then it proceeds to discuss the quantity called torque which is the rotational analog of force and is the physical quantity that is required to changed an object's state of rotational motion. Moment of Inertia Kinetic Energy of Rotation Consider a rigid object rotating about a fixed axis at a certain angular velocity. Since every particle in the object is moving, every particle has kinetic energy. To find the total kinetic energy related to the rotation of the body, the sum of the kinetic energy of every particle due to the rotational motion is taken. The total kinetic energy can be expressed as ..
