Design Investigation of Inertia Measuring Platform.
Abstract
An Inertia Measuring Platform (IMP) is proposed for the purposes of experimentally determining the location of the center of gravity and the moments and products of inertia of vehicles and vehicular components weighing as much as 28,000 lbs. The IMP consists of a rigid lightweight space truss which supports the test item and which itself is supported by four sloping cables which intersect at a point, the instantaneous center of rotation, well below the center of gravity of the platform.
