Inertial

Dynamical analyses in engineering often require inertial properties of complex shapes such as polyhedra. The volume, the first moment of volume and the second moment of volume of a general solid can be computed by V = Integral( dVol ), VR = Integral( R*dVol ), VRR = Integral( R*Rd-deOao*dVol )....

The Ejs Inertial Oscillation model displays the motion of a particle moving over the surface of an oblate spheroid. The spheroid is flattened to an ellipsoid of revolution because it is rotating, just as the Earth is flattened because it is rotating. The particle is confined to motion along the...

this program takes the data from an IMU as the input and calculates the body's trajectory ,velocity and attitude .it plots the velocities and euler angles vs time and the body's trajectory.

Airlib is a library of aircraft models to be used with Simulink 3.1 (MATLAB 5.3) or later (tested on 6.1 & 6.5).It is based on two basic blocks that implement a continuous-time and a discrete-time nonlinear general aircraft model. Both blocks are largely based on the FDC toolbox, written by Marc...

Five scripts that demonstrate some aspects of the dynamics of rotating reference frames:1) rotation.m shows a very simple 3-d trajectory from inertial and rotating reference frames.2) Coriolis.m simulates a 2-d trajectory in a rotating frame that omits the centrifugal force. This allows several...

The Foucault Rod model displays the vibration of a circumnavigating rod. One end of the rod is firmly secured to a support. The free end of the rod has a weight attached, like the bob of a pendulum. The support of the rod is circumnavigating a central axis. The plane of swing of the Foucault rod...
