Source Word
gimbal lock
Noun
countable
uncountable
The
loss
of
one
degree
of
freedom
in
the
three-dimensional
rotational
movement
of
a
three-gimbal
mechanism,
which
occurs
when
the
axes
of
two
of
the
three
gimbals
are
driven
into
a
parallel
configuration,
so
that
the
system's
rotational
movement
becomes
two-dimensional
(and
necessarily
remains
so
until
an
appropriate
force
is
applied);
the
equivalent
situation
in
a
simulation
of
rotational
movement,
when
the
mathematical
model
uses
Euler
angles
(representing
pitch,
yaw
and
roll)
or
their
equivalent.
Japanese Meaning
三軸ジンバル機構において、2軸が平行になり、回転自由度が1つ失われる現象。これにより、本来の3次元回転が実質的に2次元の回転運動に制限される。
