Analytical Methods for Determining the Motion of a Rigid Body Equipped with Internal Motion-Sensing Transducers

Abstract

Analytical expressions are developed which relate the translational and angular accelerations, velocities, and displacements of a body with the outputs of six correctly placed internal motion-sensing transducers. These expressions are in a form that is easily converted into computer programs for analysis of data taken by motion-sensing transducers in any sort of free vehicle. Thus, they are appropriate for use in experimental studies in which the motion of torpedoes, missiles, etc. is to be measured.
