Abstract

In the present chapter a near-rigid solid is defined. The concept is then introduced into gyrodynamics. After defining the properties of a suitable floating coordinate system, the latter is used to obtain suitable equations of gyrodynamics for deformable bodies. The concept of a body of constant configuration in a floating coordinate system is introduced. The theory is then demonstrated on typical examples.
