- Title
Instantaneous center/axis of rotation for planar and three-dimensional motion.

- Abstract
This article discusses a direct analytical method for calculating the instantaneous center of rotation and the instantaneous axis of rotation for the two-dimensional and three-dimensional motion, respectively, of rigid bodies. In the case of planar motion, this method produces a closed-form expression for the instantaneous center of rotation based on a single point located on the rigid body. It can also be used to derive closed-form expressions for the body and space centrodes. For three-dimensional, rigid body motion, an extension of the technique used for planar motion locates a point on the instantaneous axis of rotation, which is parallel to the body angular velocity vector. In addition, methods are demonstrated that can be used to map the body and space cones for general rigid body motion, and locate the fixed point for the body.
