Euler Angles and the Euler Rotation Sequence

In this video we discuss how Euler angles are used to define the relative orientation of one coordinate frame to another. Topics and Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction and example 2:34 – The Euler Rotation Sequence 16:10 – Matlab animation showing rotation sequence 21:03 – The direction cosine matrix (DCM) 40:23 – Show that the (DCM) is unitary 49:57 – Rotating about a single axis of rotation Lecture notes and code can be downloaded from https://github.com/clum/YouTube/tree/main/FlightMech07 All Flight Mechanics videos in a single playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxdnSsBqCrrEx3A6W94sQGClk6Q4YCg-h) #FlightMechanics You can support this channel via Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/christopherwlum or by clicking on the ‘Thanks’ button underneath the video.
