A Technique for Identification of The Principal Central Axis of Inertia in an Inhomogeneous Rigid Body

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

A technique is proposed to identify the principal central axis of inertia in a joint-suspended inhomogeneous rigid body from its vertical revolution. The problem is reduced to synchronizing the revolution of the body with the revolution of a fictitious mathematical pendulum
