DEVICE FOR MEASURING THE INERTIA TENSOR OF A RIGID BODY

摘要

A device for measuring the inertia tensor of a rigid body at least consists of a rigid body (11), the inertia tensor of which is to be measured, at least one suspension means (20) with respect to at least one fixed point which sets at least one degree of fixation, excitation means (30) for causing the movement of the rigid body (11), as well as a movement detection group (40) and a data transmission group (50) to a numerical processor (60) for registering the data and executing a parameter identification procedure based upon a mathematical model of the rigid body suspended like a pendulum, suitable for obtaining the six components of the inertia tensor.
