This equation has played the central role in rotational dynamics of rigid bodies and, understandably so, appears in all books in classical mechanics. More information: Amir H Fariborz, An ...

Below is a set of simulation results for a two-DOF translational system having a rigid body mode resulting from zero initial stretch/compression in the spring and initial velocities for the two masses ...
