A Closed-Form Expression of the Instantaneous Rotational Lurch Index to Evaluate Its Numerical Approximation

The lurch index has recently been introduced in applied kinematics as an integral descriptor of the fluency of the motion of a rigid body in space. It may be defined in different versions, according to the component of motion under investigation. In the present paper, we analyze a rotational lurch i...
