  ROTATION: A review of useful theorems involving proper orthogonal matrices referenced to three-dimensional physical space.
Rebecca M. Brannon
Computational Physics and Mechanics
Sandia National Laboratories
Albuquerque, NM 87185-0820 Publicly available draft of May 9, 2002 Useful and/or little-known theorems involving proper orthogonal matrices
are reviewed. Orthogonal matrices appear in the transformation of tensor components
from one orthogonal basis to another. The distinction between an orthogonal
direction cosine matrix and a rotation operation is discussed. Among the theorems
and techniques presented are (1) various ways to characterize a rotation including
proper orthogonal tensors, dyadics, Euler angles, axis/angle representations, series
expansions, and quaternions; (2) the Euler-Rodrigues formula for converting axis
and angle to a rotation tensor; (3) the distinction between rotations and reflections,
along with implications for “handedness” of coordinate systems; (4) non-commutivity
of sequential rotations, (5) eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a rotation; (6)
the polar decomposition theorem for expressing a general deformation as a sequence
of shape and volume changes in combination with pure rotations; (7) mixing
rotations in Eulerian hydrocodes or interpolating rotations in discrete field
approximations; (8) Rates of rotation and the difference between spin and vorticity,
(9) Random rotations for simulating crystal distributions; (10) The principle of
material frame indifference (PMFI); and (11) a tensor-analysis presentation of
classical rigid body mechanics, including direct notation expressions for momentum
and energy and the extremely compact direct notation formulation of Euler’s
equations (i.e., Newton’s law for rigid bodies). Computer source code is provided
for several rotation-related algorithms.
