    A gyration is a specific type of rotation in geometry where the rotation occurs in a discrete subgroup of symmetries of the Euclidean plane. This subgroup does not contain a reflection symmetry whose axis passes through the center of rotational symmetry. In the corresponding orbifold, a gyration corresponds to a rotation point that does not lie on a mirror, called a gyration point.

    Original Description:

    The accompanying document contains a short exposition on the concept of gyration - a vital concept in many areas like aerospace engineering, automobile manufacture etc.

    GYRATION

    In geometry, a gyration is a rotation in a discrete subgroup of symmetries of


    the Euclidean plane such that the subgroup does not also contain a reflection
    symmetry whose axis passes through the center of rotational symmetry. In
    the orbifold corresponding to the subgroup, a gyration corresponds to a rotation
    point that does not lie on a mirror, called a gyration point
