Abstract

This paper is devoted to the description of the relative motion of a non-material volume. The dynamical equation of relative motion for non-material volumes is derived under a reference to some carried-fixed coordinate system moving generally with respect to a fixed-space coordinate. Three kinds of a special form of the dynamical equation of relative motion are proposed. An example is given to illustrate the application of the method, and four kinds of the dynamical equation of relative motion are obtained.
