EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE OF NON-LINEAR RESONANCE EFFECTS BETWEEN RETROGRADE PRECESSION AND THE TILT-OVER MODE WITHIN A SPHEROID

Noir J.; Cardin P.; Jault D.; Masson J.P. (2003)

The Poincare flow (also known as the tilt-over mode) in a precessing cavity filled with water is investigated experimentally. Assuming that the flow is mainly a solid-body rotation, we have used three independent techniques ...
ON THE DIURNAL AND NEARLY DIURNAL FREE MODES OF THE EARTH

Rogister Y. (2001)

The poor results of computations concerning the motions of the solid inner core of a slowly rotating, ellipsoidal earth model can be explained by the fact that Smith neglected in the equations of motion second-order terms ...
THE EQUILIBRIUM FORM OF A ROTATING EARTH WITH AN ELASTIC SHELL

Mound J.E.; Mitrovica J.X.; Forte A.M. (2003)

The equilibrium form of the Earth is generally computed using a hydrostatic theory that assumes a rotating, inviscid planet. We compute the perturbation to this equilibrium form due to the presence of a thin elastic ...
