The Spin-Spin Model
摘要
In this chapter, we model the dynamics of two rigid bodies, which we assume to have arbitrary shapes and which interact through the gravitational force. We introduce the set-up of the problem and we derive the potential energy function. We also present the planar Lagrangian spin-spin model and the Keplerian spin-spin model. Finally, we consider dissipative forces due to the non-rigidity of the bodies.
