Internal Torques and Forces in Gyrostats with Magnetically Suspended Rotors

Active magnetic bearings have several potential applications in spacecraft design. Based on the gyrostat model, we develop equations that describe the internal torques and forces that occur between the body and one of the attached wheels. We evaluate the transverse torques for the torque--free gyros...
