“…The kinetic energy of the i-th element, Ki, is given by (6), where the contribution of both center of mass linear velocity, vci, and angular velocity, ωi, of i-th element is considered with mi: mass of the element, and Ii: inertia matrix of the element with respect to its own center of mass. Term Ii is found by 7, where 0 Ri is the orientation matrix of the element as seen if the fixed coordinate system {0} given by the 3x3 submatrix [(1,1)…(3,3)] of the transformation matrix in (2); mi is the mass of the element; and i Ii is the inertia tensor in its own center of mass, as seen in its own coordinate system {i}, as seen in (8).…”
