Il momento angolare per un corpo rigido può essere espresso come l'integrale del prodotto incrociato del vettore di posizione dell'elemento massa con il prodotto incrociato della velocità angolare del corpo e del vettore di posizione.
Questa equazione può essere scritta in termini di coordinate rettangolari scegliendo un altro insieme di assi xyz inclinati arbitrariamente con il sistema di riferimento.
Le componenti rettangolari del momento angolare sono derivate espandendo il prodotto incrociato, combinando i termini i, j e k e applicando il prodotto della definizione di inerzia.
Queste equazioni possono essere ulteriormente semplificate scegliendo gli assi xyz in modo tale che formino gli assi principali per il corpo rigido.
In questo caso, le componenti rettangolari del momento angolare sono espresse in termini dei principali momenti di inerzia attorno agli assi xyz.
Ciascuna di queste componenti del momento angolare è indipendente dall'altra e segue il principio di conservazione del momento angolare in modo indipendente.

momento angolare e assi principali di inerzia

Angular Momentum and Principle Axes of Inertia

Il concetto di momento angolare per una struttura solida è illustrato come il risultato cumulativo del prodotto incrociato del vettore posizione dell'elemento massa e del prodotto incrociato della velocità angolare del corpo con il vettore posizione.

Per tradurre l'equazione in termini più semplici, questa può essere riconfigurata utilizzando le coordinate rettangolari. Ciò comporta la scelta di un insieme alternativo di assi XYZ arbitrariamente inclinati rispetto al sistema di riferimento. Il processo di derivazione delle componenti rettangolari del momento angolare comporta lo sviluppo del prodotto incrociato, l'unione delle componenti e l'applicazione della definizione del prodotto di inerzia. Le equazioni derivate possono essere ulteriormente semplificate selezionando gli assi XYZ in modo tale che creino assi principali per la struttura solida.

In questo caso specifico, le componenti rettangolari del momento angolare sono articolate in relazione ai principali momenti di inerzia attorno agli assi XYZ. Ciascuna componente del momento angolare è distinta dalle altre e aderisce indipendentemente al principio di conservazione del momento angolare. Ciò significa che ogni singolo componente non influenza gli altri e mantiene il suo slancio separatamente. Questo approccio fornisce una comprensione più completa della dinamica di un corpo rigido in movimento, consentendo una previsione più accurata del suo movimento e del suo comportamento in varie condizioni.

angular momentum in principal axes

Angular momentum in a rigid body can be written using rectangular coordinates. The body’s angular momentum comes from the cross-product of each mass element’s position vector with the cross-product of the body’s angular velocity and that position vector. This gives a compact way to describe how a solid structure moves in rotation.

To work with the equation more easily, the XYZ axes can be chosen as a new set of rectangular axes. These axes may be inclined at any angle to the reference frame. The rectangular components of angular momentum are then found by expanding the cross-products, combining terms, and using the definition of product of inertia. Product of inertia describes how mass is distributed relative to a pair of axes.

The equations can be simplified further by choosing the XYZ axes to be principal axes of the solid structure. In that case, the rectangular components of angular momentum are written in terms of the principal moments of inertia about the XYZ axes. Each angular momentum component is separate from the others. Each one also follows the conservation of angular momentum on its own, so one component does not affect the others. This makes the motion of a rigid body easier to analyze and helps predict its behavior under different conditions.

moments and product of inertia

Moment and Product of Inertia Basics

Moment of inertia and product of inertia describe how mass is distributed in a rigid body. They help show how the body responds about coordinate axes and planes. For a small mass element, the moment of inertia is found by multiplying the element's mass by the square of the shortest distance to one of the three coordinate axes. That same idea is extended to the whole body by integration. Adding the contributions of all the small mass elements gives the body's moment of inertia about that axis.

inertia tensor

Principal Axes and Moments of Inertia

The inertia tensor describes how mass is spread out in a rigid body and how that body resists rotation. It is written as a 3×3 matrix, and each entry represents a moment of inertia about a particular axis. This makes the tensor a compact way to study rotational behavior in three dimensions. The diagonal entries show the moments of inertia about the principal axes. These principal axes are the directions where the object has the least resistance to rotation. A smaller moment of inertia along...

Calculating Moment of Inertia on Any Axis

Moment of inertia can be calculated about any chosen axis, not just a principal axis. It depends on the mass distribution of the object along that axis. This makes it useful when an object rotates in a real machine or other setup where balance and stability matter. To find the moment of inertia about an arbitrary axis, the perpendicular distance from the axis to each mass element is needed. That distance is obtained with a cross product between the unit vector that gives the axis direction and...

angular momentum about an arbitrary axis

Angular Momentum Relative to Point P

Angular momentum relative to point P is found by adding the motion of every mass element in a rigid body. The body has mass m and a center of mass at point G. It rotates in an inertial reference frame, and the angular momentum at P comes from the cross product of each position vector and its linear momentum. To build the full expression, the velocity of each mass element is written as two parts. One part is the translational velocity of the body. The other part is the relative velocity caused...

principle of impulse and moment

Impulse and Angular Momentum in Rigid Bodies

Impulse and angular momentum help describe a rigid body moving in a plane. This motion combines translation and rotation. The topic uses Newton's second law to connect force, momentum, and motion. For translational motion, the equation is written for the center of mass, labeled G. When this equation is multiplied by a small time interval, dt, and integrated, it gives the principle of linear impulse. This principle shows that a change in momentum is proportional to the impulse applied to the...

kinetic energy for a rigid body

Rigid Body Energy from Center and Rotation

Rigid body kinetic energy in planar motion can be written using the body’s center of mass and its rotation. The solid object moves in general planar motion, and its center of mass is marked at point G. To find the kinetic energy of the i-th particle, the relative velocity definition is used with the position vector rA from point A to that particle. The kinetic energy of the whole body is built from the particles. First, a scalar product is taken. Then the expression is written in integral form.

equation of motion for a rigid body

Rigid Body Motion: Force and Moment Balance

Rigid body motion is described with both translational motion and rotational motion about the center of mass, point G. The center of mass is the point where Newton's Second Law applies to translation. It gives the linear motion of the body. The same body also has rotational motion about point G. The combined moments about the center of mass equal the rate of change of angular momentum. A moment is the turning effect caused by a force, and an external force applied away from the center of mass...

euler equations of motion

Rigid Body Rotation in Euler’s Frame

Euler’s equations of motion describe how a rigid body rotates when measured in a moving frame attached to the body. The body rotates with angular velocity ω in an inertial frame, and the attached frame rotates with angular velocity Ω. Together, these two frames help describe the motion of the rigid body around its center of mass. The total moment about the center of mass is found by adding two parts. One part is the rate of change of angular momentum about the center of mass in the rotating...

torque free motion

Mars Spin Under No Torque

Torque-free motion describes the movement of a rigid body when no external torques act on it. It can be seen in places with no outside forces or friction, such as outer space. Mars is one example of this kind of motion because it rotates in space without external torque. Mars is an axisymmetric object, which means it has an axis of symmetry. That symmetry defines the rotating z-axis. The rotating frame is set so that Mars&amp;#39;s center of mass is at the origin. This setup makes the moments...
