Reverse rotations in the circularly driven motion of a rigid body.
We study the dynamical response of a circularly driven rigid body, focusing on the description of intrinsic rotational behavior (reverse rotations). The model system we address is integrable but nontrivial, allowing for qualitative and quantitative analysis. A scale-free expression defining the separation between possible spinning regimes is obtained.
