What is rigid body motion?

[Akismet]

The rigid body motion refers to the movement of a structure without any deformation. A body under rigid body motion can have translation movement or rotational movement but does not have any strain developed within.

[Karthik Remella]

When a rigid body moves, both its position and orientation vary. These changes are referred to as translation and rotation, respectively.
