Basic Concept and Dynamical Equation 4 General Rigid

Basic Concept and Dynamical Equation 4 General Rigid Body Motion – The concept of Rigid Body • A rigid body can be defined as a system of particles whose relative distances are fixed with time. The internal potential energy of a rigid body is constant – Orbital Mechanics: translational motion of spacecraft under the influence of gravitational and other forces becomes orbital mechanics – Attitude Mechanics: Rotation about the center of mass under the influence of applied torques becomes attitude mechanics.

Two-body and central force motion 4 n-body problem – n-body problem has only 10 known integrals of motion: 3 velocity components, 3 position components, 3 angular momentum components, and kinetic energy. – only the two-body problem has an unrestricted solution. Special cases of the three-body problem have been treated in closed form • Assumption • Masses could be two bodies whose minimum distance apart is large compared to their largest dimensions or could have spherically symmetric mass distributions and never touch each other. This restriction allows these masses to be treated as particles in the following analysis.

The remaining term is rotational kinetic energy about the center of mass.

Central Force Motion If then the motion of m 2 about m 1 is essentially the motion of a particle in an inertially fixed field. This type of motion is known as central force motion. Notice that the two-body problem may be treated as central force motion of a particle of mass The force which is a function of r can be written as the gradient of gravitational potential Kinetic energy per unit mass is

Kepler’s Time Equation When eccentricity is less than 1. 0, the orbit is closed and periodic. The associated period can be determined by considering the rate of area swept out by the radius vector which is the areal velocity. Kepler’s second law. Integrating over the entire orbit gives the period as For an ellipse From geometry, Kepler’s third law.
