    Equations of motion for a compound pendulum

    Homework Statement To derive the equations of motion for a compound pendulum. Pendulum parameters are: mass M, mass moment of inertia= Ixx,Iyy,Izz,Ixy,Iyz,Izx, Euler angles theta, phi & psi and their time-derivatives theta_dot, phi_dot, & psi_dot, and coordinates of center-of-mass (x,y,z)...

    Graduate Deriving Equations of Motion for Compound Pendulum with 3 DOF

    It is a single body (irregular shape with an Inertia tensor 3x3), fixed at a point, say O and can move in 3d rectangular coord system (3 rotational DOF...say alpha beta gamma).

    Graduate Deriving Equations of Motion for Compound Pendulum with 3 DOF

    Can anyone help? I have to derive eq of motion of a compound pendulum with 3 rotational dof. I know how to do it, for simple pendulum (using Lagrangian's).
