On the stability of plane motions of a heavy axially symmetric rigid body |

| Abstract |
We consider the motion of a rigid body with one fixed point in a
homogeneous gravitational field. We assume that the ellipsoid of inertia of
the body about the fixed point is an ellipsoid of revolution.
We study the orbital stability of plane periodic motions of the body. In
the unperturbed motion, the body oscillates or rotates around the axis of
symmetry, which is always horizontal. The oscillation amplitude or the
rotation frequency of the body is arbitrary.
We show that the problem depends on the following two parameters: the ratio
of the nonequal principal moments of inertia and the energy constant in the
unperturbed motion, which determines the oscillation amplitude or the
rotation frequency.
In the plane of these parameters, we construct orbital stability and
instability domains in the first (linear) approximation. We also perform
nonlinear analysis of orbital stability in the stability domains in the
first approximation and on their boundaries. |
