Modeling the Frictional Driving of a Gyroscope Casing by a Spinning Rotor
Vedat Tanrıverdi, Arda Erbasan
The rotation of the casing and rotor of a gyroscope is studied by considering frictional effects. Friction causes the casing to rotate, and over time, air dissipation and friction…
How does a heavy symmetric top rise?
Vedat Tanriverdi
The rise of the top is studied by considering slipping friction. For this case, equations of motion are obtained by using Euler equations for a heavy symmetric top with a hemispher…
Small oscillations of a heavy symmetric top
V. Tanriverdi
This study is on small oscillations of a heavy symmetric top. A different method than previous works is applied, and differently from previous works, the explicit formulas for the…
Small oscillations of a heavy symmetric top when magnitudes of conserved angular momenta are equal
Vedat Tanriverdi
Small oscillations of a heavy symmetric top are studied when magnitudes of conserved angular momenta are equal to each other. Results show that the small oscillation approximation…
Revisiting dissipative motion of a spinning heavy symmetric top and the rise of the top by friction
Vedat Tanrıverdi
The dissipative motion and the rise of a heavy symmetrical top with a hemispherical peg are studied. A model taking the fixed point of the top as the center of the peg is considere…
Why do we use constants of motion while studying the motion of a heavy symmetric top?
Vedat Tanriverdi
While studying the motion of a heavy symmetric top, in general, constants of motion are used. Some students may want to understand the motion in terms of torque, which can lie on t…
Effective potential of a spinning heavy symmetric top when magnitudes of conserved angular momenta are not equal
Vedat Tanrıverdi
There are various types of motion of a heavy symmetric top like regular precession, cusp like motion, rise of the top, etc. One of the tools used to understand that motion is effec…
Motion of the heavy symmetric top when magnitudes of conserved angular momenta are different
Vedat Tanriverdi
A symmetric top or gyroscope can start its motion with different initial values. One can not decide the motion type only by looking at these initial values. For example, in a motio…
