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.

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 in Einstein's theory of gravitation [PDF]

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1971
A physical definition of the inertial reference frame (IRF) is given, and the properties of solutions of the Einstein equation (with cosmological constantΛ), which admit an IRF (IRF solutions) are investigated. Their Petrov type is uniquely determined by the viscous stress tensor. Only the typesI, D or 0 are possible.

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

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.

Generalized relativistic dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame

Indian Journal of Physics, 2010
Generalized relativistic field equations have been derived for dynamics in a non-inertial reference frame interpreted as a Finsler space where events are specified by both spacetime coordinates and corresponding velocities (tangent vectors). The field equations follow in two alternative forms from exact general conservation laws derived through ...

Mechanical Energy Change in Inertial Reference Frames

The Physics Teacher, 2016
The mechanical energy change of a system in an inertial frame of reference equals work done by the total nonconservative force in the same frame. This relation is covariant under the Galilean transformations from inertial frame S to S′, where S′ moves with constant velocity relative to S.

Inertial frames of reference: Mass coupling to space and time

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 1981
We consider a new expression for the dependence of mass on velocity, more general than the corresponding law of the special theory of relativity (STR). The deviations from the STR become large with increasing rest mass. One should therefore measure the dependence of mass on velocity for objects with a large rest mass. The theory predicts that particles
