 Moment of inertia - Enpsychlopedia
However, in the general case of an object being rotated about an arbitrary axis, the moment of inertia becomes a tensor, such that the angular momentum need not be parallel to the angular velocity.
For the case where the angular momentum is parallel to the angular velocity, the moment of inertia is simply a scalar.
In the case of the principal axes, the angular momentum is parallel to the angular velocity, so the object can be rotated in free space without an external torque applied.

 A Unified Field Theory by N.F.J. Matthews
A vanishing divergence of the source tensor of the Bianchi-type field equations represents a set of six equations that we interpret locally as conservation laws of angular momentum and velocity of center of gravity.
In spherical coordinates, for example, the z component of angular momentum density would have to be computed from superposition of two components of angular momentum density, namely, the radial component and the copolar-angle component, each of which would have to be determined separately.
Clearly, the local vanishing of the divergence of the conformal tensor in (2.38) is a necessary consequence of Einstein's empty-space field equations (2.1) locally.

 AZCompuguy - ScottoBobScotto - Subspace Technology
Once the second layer is activated, the total energy of the warp field is _divided_ among the two stages of the tensor, and thus among the two layers of the subspace field.
The energy of the ship itself (associated with it's velocity) has only increased by a factor of 2, while the warp engines are now having to output eight times as much power into the warp field because the higher energy warp field is much less efficient (quickly bleeding it's energy back into normal space).
If these two total angular momentums are to be equal, then we must set the t3 angular momentum to zero.

 Euclidean Tensors
If the components of an antisymmetric tensor are the infinitesimal velocities of points of a fluid relative to a certain point, then the associated vector is twice the infinitesimal angle of angular velocity of rotation, the vorticity, and is a pseudovector.
The 23 component of the antisymmetric tensor is the same as the 1 component of c, for example.

 mass, forces and angular acceleration - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums
Meanwhile, the angular inertia is expressed as a constant inertia tensor in OBJECT SPACE.
i assume angular momentum is roughly the same as linear momentum, p=mv, but where v is now the angular velocity.
as the force cannot disappear, the force resulting in acceleration of the mass and the force resulting in the angular acceleration of the mass must sum to equal the force being applied at the application point.

 Moment of inertia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, in the general case of an object being rotated about an arbitrary axis, the moment of inertia becomes a tensor, such that the angular momentum need not be parallel to the angular velocity.
Rotational versions of Newton's second law and the formulas for momentum and kinetic energy, use moment of inertia in place of the mass of an object (with torque, angular velocity and angular acceleration replacing force, velocity and acceleration, respectively).
In the case of rotation about a principal axis with constant angular velocity, the angular momentum is, like the angular velocity, along this axis, so it remains constant.

 Tensors and Ellipsoids
Since the angular velocity passes through the point of contact P, there is no relative motion between the energy ellipsoid and the invariant plane: the energy ellipsoid must roll on the invariant plane without slipping.
If we consider a space in which the components of the angular velocity are the coordinates, then this equation also defines an ellipsoid in this space, which is similar to the inertia ellipsoid.
The angular velocity must terminate on the energy ellipsoid in any case.

Darboux problem is the problem of determination of the turn-tensor (or other quantities describing position of a rigid body) by the known angular velocity vector.
That is why the left Darboux problem can be reformulated as the problem of determination of the right angular velocity vector by the known left one and the right Darboux problem can be reformulated as the problem of determination of the left angular velocity vector by the known right one.
This approach allows to reduce Darboux problem to solution of the 3-order linear differential equation in a real-valued unknown.

We find furthermore that the zitterbewegung motion involves a velocity field which is solenoidal, and that the local angular velocity is parallel to the spin vector.
By translating from Clifford into tensor algebra, we also propose a new (non-relativistic) velocity operator for a spin 1/2 particle.
In presence of a non-constant spin vector (Pauli case) we have, besides the component normal to spin present even in the Schroedinger theory, also a component of the local velocity which is parallel to the rotor of the spin vector.

 My Personal Reading List
A fairly large family of old and new metrics are thus included as special cases: Schwarzschild, NUT, and Kerr exterior solutions, and new interior solutions for a stationary body of fluid, either spherical and nonrotating, or rigidly rotating with arbitrary angular velocity.
All Petrov type-D stationary (non-static) axisymmetric (without a higher symmetry) rigidly rotating perfect-fluid metrics which have the velocity of the fluid in the 2-space generated by the principal null directions of the Weyl tensor are explicitly obtained.
The formalism of the previous article is used to obtain solutions of Einstein's field equations for the interior of a rigidly rotating perfect fluid, with zero magnetic Weyl tensor.

 Andrew Zaferakis: Rigid Body Dynamics
During the simulation we want to know how fast the rigid body is spinning, this is called the angular velocity, represented by "omega".
In rigid body dynamics, we must compute the intertia tensor of the rigid body.
Once we have the inertia tensor of the body, we can easily compute the inverse, which is what is needed in the simulation.

 [4.05] Rotation Theory of Celestial bodies in Angle-action Variables
The solution of the Chandler problem (Andoyer’s variables, components of angular velocity w.r.t to the body and space reference systems, direction cosines and their different functions) is presented in elliptical and theta-functions, and in the form of Fourier series in the angle-action variables of unperturbed motion.
On the base of equations in Andoyer variables describing rotational motion of the celestial bodies with a changeable in the time tensor of inertia (Barkin, 1979, 1984) the problem is reduced to the classical Euler-Poinsot problem for a rigid body, but with another set of constant moments of inertia.
Secular perturbations in the Earth’s rotation due to second harmonic of the force function have been studied (the determination of the constant of precession; constant additives to the angular velocities of the Chandler and axial motions of the Earth).

 Real-time Physics for Computer Games
The hardest part of the Integration is the angular forces, as mentioned earlier this uses the Inertia Tensor [10]:
Where a is acceleration, f is the linear forces, m is the mass of the body, v is the accumulated velocity and p is the world position of the centre of the body.
However calculating spring force is a little more complicated which is discussed in section 4.2, but is applied to the Linear Forces vector in the same way as gravity.
