mass moment of inertia
21Second moment of area — The second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia or second moment of inertia, is a property of a shape that is used to predict its resistance to bending and deflection which are directly proportional. This is why beams with… …
22List of area moments of inertia — The following is list of area moments of inertia. The area moment of inertia or second moment of area has a unit of dimension length4, and should not be confused with the mass moment of inertia. Each is with respect to a horizontal axis through… …
23Statical moment — Moment Mo ment, n. [F. moment, L. momentum, for movimentum movement, motion, moment, fr. movere to move. See {Move}, and cf. {Momentum}, {Movement}.] 1. A minute portion of time; a point of time; an instant; as, at that very moment. [1913… …
24Virtual moment — Moment Mo ment, n. [F. moment, L. momentum, for movimentum movement, motion, moment, fr. movere to move. See {Move}, and cf. {Momentum}, {Movement}.] 1. A minute portion of time; a point of time; an instant; as, at that very moment. [1913… …
25momentof inertia — moment of inertia n. pl. moments of inertia A measure of a body s resistance to angular acceleration, equal to: a. The product of the mass of a particle and the square of its distance from a reference. b. The sum of the products of each mass… …
26List of moments of inertia — The following is a list of moments of inertia. Mass moments of inertia have units of dimension mass × length2. It is the rotational analogue to mass. It should not be confused with the second moment of area (area moment of inertia), which is used …
27Roll moment — In a vehicle suspension, roll moment is the moment of inertia of the vehicle s sprung mass (the portion of its weight supported by the suspension). The roll moment is the product of the sprung mass and the square of the distance between the… …
28centre of inertia — noun a) The centre of mass. b) A point, near or within a body, at which the bodys mass can be assumed to be concentrated when considering its rotational motion and moment of inertia. This may be different from its …
29Zero Moment Point — is a concept related with dynamics and control of legged locomotion, e.g., for humanoid robots. It specifies the point with respect to which dynamic reaction force at the contact of the foot with the ground does not produce any moment, i.e. the… …
30Directional stability — is stability of a moving body or vehicle about an axis which is perpendicular to its direction of motion. Stability of a vehicle concerns itself with the tendency of a vehicle to return to its original direction in relation to the oncoming medium …
