Dynamics of rigid bodies

It was the first time when the dynamics of rigid bodies was formulated in terms of the direct tensor calculus. The new mathematical technique is developed for the description of spinor motions. This technique is based on the use of the rotation (turn) tensor and related concepts. The new results in the dynamics of rigid bodies are mostly presented in the following works:
