The world's premier source of mass properties knowledge and technical excellence since 1939.
Advanced Mass Properties Measurement
Instructor:
Paul Kennedy, Space Electronics
Class Description:
Overview:
- To provide training in the measurement of moment of inertia, center of gravity, and product of inertia, with emphasis on the pitfalls that can result in measurement errors. Students will make actual measurements of all three mass properties using state of the art equipment in it's design lab.
- To demonstrate the process of measuring POI by making three moment of inertia measurements with the test item oriented in different positions, rather than by spinning the object.
- To review the process of calculating POI
Who Should Attend:
Anyone who has an interest in mass properties measurement This course covers the full range from the basics of measurement to the relatively specialized field of POI measurement using a torsion pendulum. It is taught by a well known expert in the field.
