It is well known that a rotation of a free generic three-dimensional rigid body is stationary if and only if it is a rotation around one of three principal axes of inertia. As it was noted by many authors, the analogous result is true for a…
Euler's rotation theorem states that any reconfiguration of a rigid body with one of its points fixed is equivalent to a single rotation about an axis passing through the fixed point. The theorem forms the basis for Chasles' theorem which…
The stability of a system of $N$ equal sized mutually gravitating spheres resting on each other in a straight line and rotating in inertial space is considered. This is a generalization of the "Euler Resting" configurations previously…
While it is well known that constant rotation induces linear dispersive effects in various fluid models, we study here its effect on long time nonlinear dynamics in the inviscid setting. More precisely, we investigate stability in the 3d…
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of stability and long-time behaviour of a coupled system constituted by two rigid bodies separated by a thin layer of lubricant. We show that permanent rotations of the whole system, with the…
The article treats the classical problem of stability of steady rotation of a rigid homogeneous ellipsoid on a rigid smooth plane which rotates about its vertical axis. The condition for the steady rotation is derived from the Euler-Poisson…
Why would anyone wish to generalize the already unappetizing subject of rigid body motion to an arbitrary number of dimensions? At first sight, the subject seems to be both repellent and superfluous. The author will try to argue that an…
In this paper we study the linear stability of relative equilibria in the Newtonian $n$-body problem from the viewpoint of electromagnetic systems. We first examine the effect of the ambient dimension on stability, starting from the…
Using the properties of the angular momentum, we develop a new geometrical technique to study relative equilibria for a system of $3$--bodies with positive masses, moving on the two sphere under the influence of an attractive potential…
The generalized Euler case (rigid body rotation over the fixed point) is discussed here: - the center of masses of non-symmetric rigid body is assumed to be located at the equatorial plane on axis Oy which is perpendicular to the main…
This research investigates the rotational dynamics of a charged axisymmetric spinning rigid body influenced by gyrostatic torque. The study also accounts for the effects of transverse and constant body-fixed torques and an electromagnetic…
The fundamental equation describing the rotational dynamics of a rigid body is ${\vec \tau}=d{\vec L} / dt$ which is a straightforward consequence of the Newton's second law of motion and is only valid in an inertial coordinate system.…
The dynamics of a rigid, rotating, precessing, massive ring orbiting a point mass within the perimeter of the ring are considered. It is demonstrated that orbits dynamically stable against perturbations in three dimensions exist for a range…
This paper proposes a methodology to stabilize relative equilibria in a model of identical, steered particles moving in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Exploiting the Lie group structure of the resulting dynamical system, the…
We consider a steady state $v_{0}$ of the Euler equation in a fixed bounded domain in $\mathbf{R}^{n}$. Suppose the linearized Euler equation has an exponential dichotomy of unstable and center-stable subspaces. By rewriting the Euler…
It is well known that a rigid motion of the Euclidean plane can be written as the composition of at most three reflections. It is perhaps not so widely known that a similar result holds for Euclidean space in any number of dimensions. The…
Euler's three-body problem is the problem of solving for the motion of a particle moving in a Newtonian potential generated by two point sources fixed in space. This system is integrable in the Liouville sense. We consider the Euler problem…
Differential equations are derived which show how generalized Euler vector representations of the Euler rotation axis and angle for a rigid body evolve in time; the Euler vector is also known as a rotation vector or axis-angle vector. The…
We consider the incompressible Euler equations in $R^2$ when the initial vorticity is bounded, radially symmetric and non-increasing in the radial direction. Such a radial distribution is stationary, and we show that the monotonicity…
We prove the global well-posedness and scattering for the 3D incompressible Euler-Coriolis system with sufficiently small, regular and suitably localized initial data. Equivalently, we obtain the asymptotic stability for "rigid body"…
