Comoving and inertial frames of reference

Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, 1994
The author considers the possibility of constructing nonlinear equations of general relativity by including potential energy and solves them for the motion of individual particles having nonzero four-dimensional absolute acceleration relative to a family of inertial geodesics satisfying the field equations in their orbits.

Conventions and inertial reference frames

American Journal of Physics, 2005
This article discusses the role of conventions in defining the concept of inertial reference frame, and it specifies key historical evidence, up to now widely ignored, connecting Poincaré, Einstein, and Reichenbach’s analyses of simultaneity.

Quantum mechanics for non-inertial reference frames

European Journal of Physics, 2021
Abstract In quantum mechanics courses, the concept of a reference frame is frequently hidden. In this article, we present a basic perspective to introduce the transformations of a reference frame based on unitary transformations.

Non-Inertial Reference Frames

2011
According to Section 1.2.1 Newton’s law in the form m a = F is valid in a reference frame that is fixed in space. Such a reference frame is an inertial frame. The notion of an inertial frame will be discussed in more detail in Section 6.2.

Inertial reference frame system

Journal for General Philosophy of Science, 1992
It is suggested that the mathematically abstract coordinate frames of reference commonly visualized to be centered at the celestial bodies have real counterparts in the shape of well-defined rigid spatial resonant singularities of infinite extension, which accommodate the matter waves from the superimposition of which the body residing at the ...

Transformations between inertial and rotating frames of reference

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1979
The problem of relating measurements made in an inertial (laboratory) frame to measurements made in a rotating frame is attacked through the derivation from first principles of the appropriate transformation equations. These are then used to derive a metric for a rotating system in which the energy tensor is everywhere zero, i.e.

Inertial reference frames and gravitational forces

European Journal of Physics, 1981
Considers the connection between different definitions of inertial, i.e. fundamental, reference frames and the corresponding characterisation of gravitational fields by gravitational forces, from the point of view of their possible interpretation in university introductory courses. The introduction of a special class of reference frames, denoted 'mixed

Hybrid Fourier–Vlasov simulation in non-inertial reference frames

Computer Physics Communications, 2011
Abstract We present some useful extensions of the spectral Fourier–Vlasov algorithm for simulations of interactions of collisionless plasmas with ion beams. For many practical applications the relative drifts of various particle populations require high resolution of particle distribution functions (PDFs) or the use of large phase space domain, which

Inertial Reference Frames for Subsystems of Deformable Bodies

Moscow University Mechanics Bulletin, 2019
It is assumed that a certain reference frame is inertial for a system of moving and interacting bodies called a large system. In the framework of classical continuum mechanics, some necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of a reference frame for a subsystem of this large system considered as an independent large system.
