A Computational Approach for Variational Integration of Attitude Dynamics on SO(3)
Abstract: In this article, a brief description of Discrete Mechanics and Variational Integrators which preserve the symplectic structure of the flow will be provided and a Newton-Raphson algorithm that can be used to solve implicit equations on the SO(3) manifold will be developed. These techniques will be used to simulate the rotational dynamics of a rigid body evolving on the Lie Group SO(3).
