Abstract: A recently developed theory is used to establish criteria for determining regions of possible motions in a reduced configuration space for a rigid body having one fixed point. Such regions are ...

Abstract: This paper contains the development of an algorithm for the solution of any initial value problem dealing with the motion of a symmetric top on a horizontal surface. No restrictions are made ...

Abstract: It is common practice to use conservation principles, such as the principles of conservation of energy or angular momentum, to test results of numerical integrations of differential equations ...
