Abstract

Multibody dynamics described by fully Cartesian coordinates is treated in this paper. The explicit expressions of linear and angular momentum of rigid body and multibody systems are deduced using fully Cartesian coordinates. First order differential equations of free multibody systems in term of fully Cartesian coordinates are established. The equations are applied to analyze attitude motion of multibody spacecraft without torque.
