Design and accuracy test of equatorial moment of inertia test equipment for projectile and rocket

Abstract

The moment of inertia is an important mass characteristic parameter. The precise measurement of the moment of inertia is a necessary step to study and control the flight orbit and attitude of missiles. To measure the equatorial moment of inertia of large projectiles, this paper uses the torsion pendulum method to measure the equatorial moment of inertia of large projectiles and deeply analyzes the measurement principle. The causes of measurement error are analyzed, and the measurement accuracy of the equipment is verified by experiments. The maximum relative error is less than 1 %, and the relative uncertainty is 1.3926 %, which meets the requirements of expected technical indicators.
