Stability of permanent rotations of a triaxial ellipsoid on a horizontal plane with friction
The note deals with the motion of a rigid homogeneous triaxial ellipsoid on a horizontal plane. It is assumed that the ellipsoid is subjected to a viscous friction force in addition to the normal reaction of the plane. The author establishes stability (instability) conditions for the major and minor axes of the ellipsoid.
