The Frenet Serret Description of Gyroscopic Precession
نویسندگان
چکیده
The phenomenon of gyroscopic precession is studied within the framework of Frenet-Serret formalism adapted to quasi-Killing trajectories. Its relation to the congruence vorticity is highlighted with particular reference to the irrotational congruence admitted by the stationary, axisymmetric spacetime. General precession formulae are obtained for circular orbits with arbitrary constant angular speeds. By successive reduction, different types of precessions are derived for the Kerr Schwarzschild Minkowski spacetime family. The phenomenon is studied in the case of other interesting spacetimes, such as the De Sitter and Gödel universes as well as the general stationary, cylindrical, vacuum spacetimes. To Appear in Phys.

On Frenet-Serret Invariants of Non-Null Curves in Lorentzian Space L5
The aim of this paper is to determine Frenet-Serret invariants of non-null curves in Lorentzian 5-space. First, we define a vector product of four vectors, by this way, we present a method to calculate Frenet-Serret invariants of the non-null curves. Additionally, an algebraic example of presented method is illustrated. Keywords—Lorentzian 5-space; Frenet-Serret Invariants; Nonnull Curves.
متن کاملVelocity Distribution Profile for Robot Arm Motion Using Rational Frenet-Serret Curves
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate that the techniques of Computer Aided Geometric Design such as spatial rational curves and surfaces could be applied to Kinematics, Computer Animation and Robotics. For this purpose we represent a method which utilizes a special class of rational curves called Rational Frenet–Serret (RF) curves for robot trajectory planning. RF curves distinguished by the...
متن کاملCharacterisation of Frenet-Serret and Bishop motions with applications to needle steering
Frenet-Serret and Bishop rigid-body motions have many potential applications in robotics, graphics and computer aided design. In order to study these motions new characterisations in terms of their velocity twists are derived. This is extended to general motions based on any moving frame to a space curve. Further it is shown that any such general moving frame motion is the product of a Frenet-S...

The Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics of a relativistic particle described by a higher-derivative action that depends both on the first and the second Frenet-Serret curvatures is considered from a geometrical perspective. We demonstrate how reparametrization covariant dynamical variables and their projections onto the Frenet-Serret frame can be exploited to provide not only a significant ...
متن کاملSubmanifold Dirac Operator with Torsion
The submanifold Dirac operator has been studied for this decade, which is closely related to Frenet-Serret and generalized Weierstrass relations. In this article, we will give a submanifold Dirac operator defined over a surface immersed in E with U(1)-gauge field as torsion in the sense of the Frenet-Serret relation, which also has data of immersion of the surface in E.
