Rigid body dynamics in terms of quaternions: Hamiltonian formulation and conserving numerical integration
Work
Year: 2009
Type: article
Abstract: In the present paper unit quaternions are used to describe the rotational motion of a rigid body. The unit‐length constraint is enforced explicitly by means of an algebraic constraint. Correspondingl... more
