Finding Principal Axes of Complex Plane Rigid Body with Rending-lmage of MATLAB

摘要

In order to find the principal axes of inertia and calculate their moment of inertia to any plane homogeneous rigid body for calculating easily the moment of inertia to any axis of this rigid body, the principal axes could be found and their moment of inertia could be calculated automatically by using the reading-image of MATLAB to read the image messages about the flat surface of the rigid body and by the procedures which ware made according to the logic relation about the principal axis and the moment of inertia of the rigid body. Applying this method in a homogeneous cube, a result was acquired, error of which is small compared with the theoretical value. So this method is reliable, convenient and practical.
