I need an estimate for the polar moment of inertia
I need an estimate for the polar moment of inertia
(OP)
Folks,
I need to estimate the pitch moment of inertia of a vehicle for Vehicle Sim.
I have the corner weights as well as track and wheelbase. My first thought was to treat the vehicle as a dumbell with two different size masses.
The pitch moment would be the sum of the mr2 with r being the distance between the cg and the front and rear axles respectively.
Any ideas.
Jim

I do have the NHTSA paper with their data and some of it seems a little off with respect to weights.
Thanks anyway.
