Abstract

Eckart Inertias: calculates effective Eckart inertias for large-amplitude torsions. The Eckart inertias are obtained by solving a system of transcendental equations using the Powell dogleg method. Since this system is highly nonlinear, analytical Jacobians have been implemented in the dogleg method to maximize computational efficiency.
