Fpj. Rimrott et G. Semenov, ATTITUDE DRIFT OF A DISSIPATIVE, TORQUEFREE, RADIALLY DEFORMABLE GYRO, Zeitschrift fur angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, 74(2), 1994, pp. 97-103
The present investigation is concerned with the behaviour of a dissipa
tive, originally axisymmetric, torquefree model gyro, that has deforma
tion in the body-fixed equatorial plane only. This model gyro has been
devised to pick up deformations due to the centrifugal forces in the
equatorial plane, and serves to describe the resulting motion.
