Rigid body dynamics
Rigid body simulation Once we consider an object with spatial extent, particle system simulation is no longer sufficient
Rigid body simulation • Unconstrained system � • no contact � • Constrained system � • collision and contact

Position and orientation • Assume the rigid body has uniform density, what is the physical meaning of x ( t )? � • center of mass over time � • What is the physical meaning of R ( t )? � • it’s a bit tricky
Position and orientation Consider the x-axis in body space, (1, 0, 0), what is the direction of this vector in world space at time t ? 1 r xx = R ( t ) 0 r xy 0 r xz which is the first column of R ( t ) R ( t ) represents the directions of x, y, and z axes of the body space in world space at time t
Position and orientation • So x ( t ) and R ( t ) define the position and the orientation of the body at time t � • Next we need to define how the position and orientation change over time
• Position and orientation � • Linear and angular velocity � • Mass and Inertia � • Force and torques � • Simulation
Linear velocity Since is the position of the center of mass in x ( t ) world space, is the velocity of the center of mass x ( t ) ˙ in world space v ( t ) = ˙ x ( t )
Angular velocity • If we freeze the position of the COM in space � • then any movement is due to the body spinning about some axis that passes through the COM � • Otherwise, the COM would itself be moving
Angular velocity We describe that spin as a vector ω ( t ) Direction of ? ω ( t ) Magnitude of ? | ω ( t ) | Using this representation, any movement of COM is due to the linear velocity and angular velocity spins the object around COM.
Angular velocity Linear position and velocity are related by v ( t ) = d dt x ( t ) How are angular position (orientation) and velocity related?
Angular velocity How are and related? ω ( t ) R ( t ) Hint: Consider a vector at time t specified in world space, how do c ( t ) ˙ we represent in terms of ω ( t ) c ( t ) ω ( t ) | ˙ c ( t ) | = | b || ω ( t ) | = | ω ( t ) × b | ˙ c ( t ) = ω ( t ) × b = ω ( t ) × b + ω ( t ) × a ˙ b c a c ˙ c ( t ) = ω ( t ) × c ( t )
Angular velocity Given the physical meaning of , what does each R ( t ) column of mean? ˙ R ( t ) At time t , the direction of x-axis of the rigid body in world space is the first column of R ( t ) r xx r xy r xz At time t , what is the derivative of the first column of ? R ( t ) ˙ r xx r xx = ω ( t ) × r xy r xy r xz r xz
Angular velocity r xx r yx r zx ˙ R ( t ) = ω ( t ) × ω ( t ) × ω ( t ) × r xy r yy r zy r xz r yz r zz This is the relation between angular velocity and the orientation, but it is too cumbersome We can use a trick to simplify this expression
