A Study on Rolling of a Generalised Body on a Flat Plane
Aug 28, 2004
[Done as an undergraduate term project]
In this project we studied the dynamics of rolling of a generalized convex 3D body on a flat plane without any slipping between the body and the surface using methods of Analytical mechanics. We set up the non-linear differential equations governing the motion of such a body and consequently performed simulations.
