Gyroscope Model Description

Gyroscope Model is a small, Java based application designed to compute and display the dynamics of gyroscope under the influence of a gravitational torque acting on the center of mass. The gyroscope is supported at one end and given an initial angular velocity component about its axis of symmetry and a component perpendicular to its axis of symmetry. The numerical solution shows the motion for all initial conditions including zero initial angular momentum. The model is designed to show the cycloidal motion (precession and nutation) of the gyroscope axle when the initial angular velocity is large. Users can very the position and radius of the spinning mass as well as the initial angle and can display the angular momentum L, angular velocity ?, and torque N vectors. A second window shows the elevation angle of the axle and the angular momentum vector.
