AbstractAnalytical expressions for tidal torques induced by a tide‐arising planet which perturbs rotation of a nonrigid body are derived. Corresponding expressions both for secular and periodic perturbations of the Euler's angles are given for the case of the earth's rotation. Centennial secular rates of the nutation angle θ and of the earth's angular velocity ω, as well as the centennial logarithmic decrement ν of the Chandler wobble are evaluated: $${\dot \theta }$$  mas, \dot \omega…
Secular tidal changes in lunar orbit and Earth rotation
• Geology, Physics
• 2016
Small tidal forces in the Earth–Moon system cause detectable changes in the orbit. Tidal energy dissipation causes secular rates in the lunar mean motion n, semimajor axis a, and eccentricity e.
Secular increase of astronomical unit from analysis of the major planet motions, and its interpretation

AbstractFrom the analysis of all available radiometric measurements of distances between the Earth and the major planets (including observations of martian landers and orbiters over 1971–2003 with
Effects of zonal deformations and the Earth's rotation rate variations on precession-nutation
• Physics
• 2004
Because of their importance in the accurate modeling of the Earth's orientation in space, some non-negligible predictable effects on precession-nutation are investigated. This paper considers the
Dynamical History of the Earth–Moon System
Differential equations describing the tidal evolution of the earth's rotation and of the lunar orbital motion are presented in a simple close form. The equations differ in form for orbits fixed to
Precession of the non-rigid Earth: Effect of the mass redistribution

This research is focused on determining the contribution to the precession of the Earth’s equator due to the mass redistribution stemming from the gravitational action of the Moon and the Sun on a
Nutation of the non-rigid Earth: Effect of the mass redistribution
• Geology

• Physics
• 2021
In this paper the secular change in the length of day due to mass redistribution effects is revisited using the Hamiltonian formalism of the Earth rotation theories. The framework is a two-layer
Numerical theory of rotation of the deformable Earth with the two-layer fluid core. Part 1: Mathematical model
Improved differential equations of the rotation of the deformable Earth with the two-layer fluid core are developed. The equations describe both the precession-nutational motion and the axial
The westward drift of the lithosphere: A rotational drag?
• Geology
• 2006
Net westward rotation of the lithosphere relative to the underlying mantle is a controversial phenomenon fi rst attributed to tidal effects, and later to the dynamics of mantle convection. In spite
