This document discusses principal axes and Eulerian angles for describing the orientation and motion of rigid bodies. It contains the following key points:
1) The principal moments and axes of an inertia tensor can always be found for real, symmetric tensors like the inertia tensor, and they will always be real values.
2) Under translation, the inertia tensor about a point not at the center of mass can be expressed in terms of the inertia tensor at the center of mass using Steiner's theorem.
3) Eulerian angles define a rotation as three successive rotations about fixed axes and can be used to relate an inertial frame to a body-fixed frame for a rigid body.
4) Euler's equations describe
Kinematics is a branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of points, bodies (objects), and systems of bodies (groups of objects) without considering the mass of each or the forces that caused the motion.

2. When Can We Find Principal Axes?
• We can always write down the cubic equation that one
must solve to determine the principal moments
• But if we want to interpret these as physically meaningful
quantities, the roots of that cubic have to be real
– Recall that in general, cubics can have two complex roots
• Fortunately, we’re not in the general case here
• The inertia tensor is both real and symmetric – in
particular, it satisfies:
• Matrices that satisfy this restriction are called Hermitian
• For such matrices, the principal moments can always be
found, and they are always real (see proof in text)
*

I I

This mathematics will come up again in Quantum Mechanics
Principal Moments ↔ Eigenvalues
Principal Axes ↔ Eigenfunctions
3. Inertia Tensor Under Translation
• We’ve already seen how the inertia tensor transforms
under a rotation of the coordinate system
• Now we’ll see how it behaves under translation – that is,
keeping the direction of the the coordinate axes fixed, but
changing the origin
• In particular, we’ll compare I for a coordinate system at
the center of mass of an object with that for a different
origin:
x1
x2
x3
O
X1
X2
X3
Q
rCM
O is at the center of
mass; Q can be
anywhere
4. • In the X reference frame (the one with origin at Q), the
position of any point in the rigid body can be written as:
which means the inertia tensor becomes:

α = +

mass frame

Inertia tensor about the center of mass
5. • So the inertia tensor about Q is:
• Each term in the second line has a factor that looks like:
• For a general reference frame, this quantity equals the mass of
the system times the position of the ith component of the center
of mass
– But the xi and in the center of mass frame, so all these terms are
zero
• Therefore we have the result (Steiner’s Parallel Axis Theorem):

6. Eulerian Angles
• In analyzing the motion of a rigid body, it is most
convenient to use a reference frame that is fixed to the
body
– For example, a symmetry axis of the body could be the z
axis in this “body frame”
– But that’s usually not an inertial frame
• So we need to define a translation between some inertial
“fixed” frame and the body frame
• Three angles are needed to specify how one coordinate
system is rotated with respect to another (in three
dimensions)
– These angles determine the elements of the rotation matrix λ
λ
λ
λ
7. • There are many ways the three angles can be specified
• One convenient choice is the Eulerian Angles, in which the
3D rotation is the result of three 1D rotations:
1. Rotate CCW by φ around axis
2. Rotate CCW by θ around axis
3. Rotate CCW by ψ around axis

rotation) is held fixed. That means the rotation matrices
have the form:

9. Angular Velocity in the Body Frame
• It’s going to be easiest to find the equations of motion for
the object in the body frame
• In general, we can write:

we need to do some geometry:

11. Euler’s Equations for Rigid Body
Motion
• Now that we’ve defined the geometry, we can set up the
Lagrangian for rigid body motion
• To make things easy, we’ll first consider the case where no
external forces act on the body, so:
• In that case, we can put the origin of both the fixed
(meaning inertial) and body frames at the center of mass
• Furthermore, we can cleverly choose the body frame to
coincide with the principal axes of the body, so that:
L T
=
2
1
2
i i
i
I
T ω
=
Principal moment of inertia
associated with the ith axis
12. • Since the Eulerian angles fully specify the orientation of
the rigid body in the inertial frame, we can take them to be
our generalized coordinates
• The equation of motion for ψ is:
which becomes (using the chain rule):
• One piece that enters everywhere is which is simply:
