INERTIA PROPERTIES APPLICATIONS
The concepts of rigid body or particle dynamics are used in engineering when motion is involved. This can be motion of a fluid element, a controller such as a flap or landing gear mechanism, and trajectories of vehicles.
It is important that the principles of dynamics are well understood by engineers. An engineering problem can be thought of as a word problem, similar to word problems solved in mathematics. Dynamics provides the basics by which the equations of motions that govern the problem can be derived and applied.
For a moving body, inertia properties can be used in calculations involving rotations. Using another axis system (i.e. a body fixed frame as opposed to an inertial frame) makes certain calculations more convenient to solve. This may involve transforming inertia properties to another axis system. The following links provided illustrate some applications of this process:
