Disk

 

 

This procedure returns mass and moments of inertia of a disk

 

Inputs

d = diameter of disk [m, ft]

t = thickness of disk [m, ft]

rho = material density [kg/m^3, lbm/ft^3]

 

Outputs

m=mass [kg, lb_m]

I_x = moment of inertia about the x-axis

I_y= moment of inertia about the y-axis

I_z = moment of inertia about the z-axis

 

Example:   Call  MOI_disk(d, t, rho:m, I_x, I_y, I_z)
