Although there are robust algorithms that calculate body mass, center of mass and inertia tensor based on input triangle mesh, there are several reasons why alternatives should be used when possible.

Filled with examples and practical applications, this book includes important new developments relating to the problem of large deformations and numerical algorithms as applied to flexible multibody ...

Dynamic parameter identification determines the physical constants that characterise a robot’s response to motion and external loads, encompassing quantities such as link masses, centres of mass, ...
