On a Class of Semi-Regular Gyrostat Precessions with Variable Gyrostatic Moment

Abstract

The article considers the problem of the motion of a gyrostat under the action of potential and gyroscopic forces in the case of a variable gyrostatic moment. The conditions for the existence of semi-regular precessions characterized by the constancy of their own rotation rate are studied. A new solution of the equations of the Kirchhoff–Poisson class is constructed, based on a special type of three invariant relations with respect to the main variables of these equations.
