SOS - Statics of Solids - A Program to Calculate Weight, Center of Gravity, and Inertias of Asymmetrical Missiles.

Abstract

The report formulates a computer program designed to calculate the weight, center of gravity, moments of inertia, products of inertia, principal inertias, and the direction cosine matrix of the principal axes for an asymmetrical system of bodies consisting of the following geometrical shapes; ogives, cylinders, cone frustums, rectangular parallelepipeds, surfaces of revolution, and bodies of known properties.
