In our case, this requirement can be easily veried considering our particular reference<br />
frame. The results obtained for <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1 in its nal conguration are listed in Table 2.1.<br />
Axes Coordinates (in mm)<br />
X -0.139<br />
Y -2.558<br />
Z 0.691<br />
Table 2.1: Coordinates of the <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1 CoG<br />
So, the distance between the geometric center of <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1 and its CoG can be calculated<br />
using Equation (2.4.1).<br />
√<br />
d = x 2 CoG + y2 CoG + z2 CoG<br />
= 2.6533 mm (2.4.1)<br />
Therefore, the requirement is respected.<br />
2.4.3 Inertia<br />
For a continuous rigid body, the inertia tensor is given by Equation (2.4.2).<br />
⎛<br />
⎞<br />
I xx I xy I xz<br />
I = ⎝I yx I yy I yz<br />
⎠ (2.4.2)<br />
I zx I zy I zz<br />
where:<br />
I xx =<br />
∫ (y 2 + z 2) dm (2.4.3)<br />
I yy =<br />
∫ (x 2 + z 2) dm (2.4.4)<br />
I zz =<br />
∫ (x 2 + y 2) dm (2.4.5)<br />
∫<br />
I xy = I yx = −<br />
∫<br />
I xz = I zx = −<br />
∫<br />
I yz = I zy = −<br />
(x y) dm (2.4.6)<br />
(x z) dm (2.4.7)<br />
(y z) dm (2.4.8)<br />
