March 27[edit]

Good resource for 3D dynamics[edit]

I want something that satisfies the following.

  1. Covers inertia tensors, equations of motion, angular velocities, working from body-fixed frames etc.
  2. Is free and can easily be downloaded.

I do not want discussions of Hamiltonian or Lagrangian mechanics: I want something basic to simply set problems up. I'm not too clear on all the rules for rotational dynamics. The focus is more engineering than physics incidentally; however, I am not interested in homogeneous coordinates.--Leon (talk) 19:30, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can read Rigid_body_dynamics. Ruslik_Zero 13:08, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
