Description

Abstract: The proposed article presents an extension of the wellknown theorem of theoretical mechanics about three moments, which is valid for an arbitrary plate system of forces, to the general case of an arbitrary spatial system of forces. Existence and uniqueness theorems for a symmetric static tensor of moments are formulated with a presentation of their proofs. For an arbitrary spatial system of forces, the dynamic tensor of moments is also formulated. A technique is presented for determining the principal directions and principal values of the moment tensor, for which the number of its independent components is reduced to three. This case provides clear evidence for the existence of a generalized rotation. A concrete example of an arbitrary system of forces is given, confirming the equivalence of the conditions of static equilibrium in the classical and new interpretations.
