Abstract | With the advent and application of large memory high speed digital computing equipment it is now possible and advantageous to extend the philosophy of computing techniques. One region of concern has been the moment of inertia and center of gravity calculation. This report contains a method of obtaining moments of inertia and centers of gravity from the weight or mass distributions, thereby, eliminating the necessity of computing the centroid moments of inertia for individual parts. Up to the present time no successful machine technique has been discovered for this purpose. It appears that too much emphasis has been placed on the old hand computing methods. This report presents the mass distribution method and will endeavor to justify this method on both convenience and accuracy. |
