Qualitative Rigid Body Mechanics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a theory of qualitative rigid body mechanics and describe a program that uses this theory to compute qualitative dynamic simulations. The program works directly from a qualitative representation of geometry (qc-space). It employs a new qualitative representation for forces that reduces ambiguity in force sums and hence reduces branching.

Dynamical Behavior of a Rigid Body with One Fixed Point (Gyroscope). Basic Concepts and Results. Open Problems: a Review
The study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. A number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. The main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...
متن کاملComputational Geometric Mechanics, Control, and Estimation of Rigid Bodies
Geometric mechanics involves the application of geometric and symmetry techniques to the study of Lagrangian or Hamiltonian mechanics. The goal of computational geometric mechanics is to construct computational algorithms which preserve the geometric properties of mechanical systems [1]. My research is focused on developing computational geometric methods for numerical integration, optimal cont...
متن کاملEuler-Lagrange equations and geometric mechanics on Lie groups with potential
Abstract. Let G be a Banach Lie group modeled on the Banach space, possibly infinite dimensional, E. In this paper first we introduce Euler-Lagrange equations on the Lie group G with potential and right invariant metric. Euler-Lagrange equations are natural extensions of the geodesic equations on manifolds and Lie groups. In the second part, we study the geometry of the mechanical system of a r...
متن کاملIntegrating Open-Domain Sketch Understanding with Qualitative Two- Dimensional Rigid-Body Mechanics
Sketching is a powerful modality for thinking through, and communicating about, mechanical designs. Qualitative mechanics reasoning has been applied to sketched input before but not without succumbing to limitations of domainbased recognition or requiring complex annotation and additional explicit knowledge from the user. This paper presents solutions to three problems in integrating qualitativ...
