Analytic Solution of Euler's Equations of Motion for an Asymmetric Rigid Body

this paper is to extend the analytic solutions for a near-symmetric rigid body subject to constant torques (Tsiotras and Longuski, 1991), when both large asymmetries and nonzero initial conditions for the transverse angular velocities are considered at the same time. In such a case, the neglected term (7) may not be negligible and the exact solution for ! 3 may depart significantly from the linear solution (3) for ! 3 . 3.3 General Theor
