Rigid body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces. There are cases where an object cannot be treated as a particle. However, the observed shape deformation is an invariantplane strain p 1 steps a to b in figure 7, but this gives the wrong crystal structure. Inertial rotation of a rigid body eugene butikov st.
The ability of a force to cause a rotation depends on three factors. Nevertheless most people will allow that in practice some solids are fairly rigid, are rotating at only a modest speed, and any distortion is small compared with the overall size of the body. Chapter 11 rotation of a rigid body about a fixed axis 11. In other words the ith particle will have a mass of m i and distance r i. Download study material for preparation of advanced for free.
In this section we shall develop the techniques required to describe. In particular, the only degrees of freedom of a 2d rigid body are translation and rotation. Were thinking here of an idealized solid, in which the distance between any two internal points stays the same as the body moves around. The spin angle is the rotation about the third body axis. A free rigid body has six degrees of freedom for instance, the coordinates of the center of mass and the orientation of the body. Suppose that the car shown below is a rigid body and is moving from left to. Rotation of a r igid body not all motion can be described as that of a particle. In rotation about a fixed axis, every particle of the rigid body moves in a circle which lies in a plane perpendicular to the axis and has its centre on the axis.
This chapter shows us how to include rotation into the dynamics. The torque free rotation of a rigid body can be described by eulers three equations of motion. A rigid body is an extended object whose components dont move relative to each other. However we are often interested in the rotation of a free body suspended in space for example, a satellite or the planets. Free motions of a rotating body we consider a rotating body in the absence of appliedexternal moments. All lines on a rigid body in its plane of motion have the same angular displacement, same angular velocity. A simple approach to the important problem of torque free rotation of a symmetrical rigid body is suggested which is appropriate for teaching introductory mechanics and general.
