23Rotational-vibrational coupling — occurs when the rotation frequency of an object is close to or identical to a natural internal vibration frequency. The animation on the right shows a simple example. The motion depicted in the animation is for the idealized situation that the… …
24Poinsot's ellipsoid — In classical mechanics, Poinsot s construction is a geometrical method for visualizing the torque free motion of a rotating rigid body, that is, the motion of a rigid body on which no external forces are acting. This motion has four constants:… …
