Gyration tensor
text:
In physics, the gyration tensor is a tensor that describes the second moments of position of a collection of particles
- S m n = d e f 1 N ∑ i = 1 N r m r n where r m is the m t h Cartesian coordinate of the position vector r of the i t h particle. The origin of the coordinate system has been chosen such that
- ∑ i = 1 N r = 0 i.e. in the system of the center of mass r C M. Where
- r C M = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N r Another definition, which is mathematically identical but gives an alternative ca
