On the Regular Precessions of an Asymmetric Liquid-Filled Rigid Body

详细

The conditions for the existence of a linear invariant system of Poincaré–Zhukovsky equations have been found. In a linear invariant system, three configuration conditions have been obtained that are sufficient to allow a mechanical system without dynamic symmetry to undergo regular precession. The explicit expression of the moments of inertia of a system consisting of a rigid body with an ellipsoidal cavity filled an ideal vorticity fluid is given in terms of the cavity dimensions; the velocities of precession and self-rotation are found. The particular case of the permanent rotation of an asymmetric rigid shell around the angular momentum vector is considered; in this case, any axis rigidly bound to the shell can be used as the axis of permanent rotation.
