Attitude stability of three ellipsoids of revolution in stationary motion
Abstract
The paper describes sufficient conditions for the stationary motion of three ellipsoids of revolution for the case when the centers of mass of the ellipsoids are not perturbed. The analysis is based on Routh's theorem.
