Introduction
Mass property evaluations are an integral part of theengineering analysis performed by the Biodynamics ResearchDivision at the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory(USAARL). For man-mounted equipment, it is important to defineand measure the mass properties in order to accurately developmath models, understand human performance impacts, and to conductcomparative evaluations. To measure these properties, the SpaceElectronics KSR330-60 Mass Properties Instrument (MPI) wasselected. The purpose of this paper is to describe the MPI'soperating theory and the procedure to measure mass propertieswith the MPI.
Equipment
The KSR330-60 MPI was designed and produced by SpaceElectronics, Inc. The MPI is capable of testing a 330-lb load.The maximum full-scale moment allowed due to the offset of thepart's CM is 60 in-lb. The accuracies of the MPI are listed inAppendix A. The MPI requires a continuous source of pressurized(70 to 05 PSI) nitrogen or dry clean instrument air. A JUN-AIR2000 oil-less air compressor with an absorption dryer wasselected to supply instrument air to the MPI. The MPI operationis fully automated with a personal computer and a dot matrixprinter. The MPI system setup is shown in Figure 1.
Theory
The MPI is designed to obtain accurate measurements of thecenter-of-mass (CM) and the mass moment of inertia (MOI). The CMis defined as the point in a body at which its entire mass may beassumed to be concentrated. The MOI of a body is defined as ameasure of its resistance to rotational acceleration.
Center-of-mass
For each orthogonal axis of a test part, its CM iscalculated by measuring the force required to balance the testpart on the test platform's pivot axis. This pivot axis servesas the fulcrum for the test platform, which is suspended by arotary gas bearing. The test part's mass and the unknowndistance between the test part's CM location and the testplatform's pivot axis results in a moment applied about the pivotaxis (Figure 2). The MPI measures the force required to balance

this moment caused by the test part. This balancing force (F1)is sensed by a force transducer located at a known distance (dj)from the fulcrum. From the moment equation,
N1 = Fjdj,
the moment (N1) produced by the transducer relative to the pivotaxis can be determined. In order to balance the test platform,this moment must equal the moment resulting from the cM of thetest part. Since the force applied by the test part (F2) isknown from its mass, the unknown distance from the fulcrum to theCM of the test part (d2) is easily calculated from the followingequation:
FidI - FAd2
or d2 - (Fldl)/F 2 .

inverted torsional pendulum (Figure 3). To begin theoscillation, the platform is rotated slightly and released. Thetest platform's MOI is related directly to the oscillation period(T) by the following equation:
I= CT2,
where C is a physical constant dependent on the torsionalpendulum configuration. This constant is found experimentally asshown in Appendix B.
To determine the MOI of the test part, a tare period (T)must first be measured for the platform and any test fixturenecessary to support the test part. The test part then is addedto the system and another period (Ti) is acquired. Using thecalibration constant, C, the test part MOI then is calculated:
I = C(T? - Tt).
This measurement and calculation provide the part's MOI about asingle axis. This procedure must be repeated for the part's tworemaining axes. These moments, I., I., and I., are used todetermine the part's principal moments of inertia and principalaxes of inertia. The MOIs are mathematically represented by:
5
S= f (y 2 + z 2 ) lm,
S= f (z 2 + x 2) nm,
I"= f (X2 + y2) elM.
where x, y, and z are the distances from the basic coordinateaxes of the CM to the differential mass (dm) (Figure 4).

Mass products of inertia
Along with the MOIs, the products of inertia are required inorder to calculate the principal moments of inertia and theprincipal axes of inertia. The products of inertia, P1 ,, P..,and P,, are mpthematically defined by the following integrals:
Pxy = P. X 'Zf~mS= P . = f xz dr
S= Pzy = fyz & nm
where x, y, and z are the distances from the basic coordinateaxes of the CM to the differential mass (dm) (Figure 4).

To experimentally determine P., P., and Py, with the NPI,perform the following steps for the x-y plane, the x-z plane, andthe y-z plane.
a. Record the MOIs (Ix,, I,, and I.) that weredetermined during the basic MOI testing.
b. Rotate the test part to an arbitrary axis(remaining within the x-y, y-z, or x-z planes) 60 from thecoordinate axis (Figure 5). In order to simplify thecalculations, a 450 rotation is suggested.
c. Run an MOI test with the test part at thisorientation. The resulting MOI values (Iy,, I,, or Iyz) providethe MOI of the test part with respect to a new coordinate systemwith axes within the x-y, x-z, and y-z planes of the basiccoordinate system.

Principal moments and axes of inertia
For every three-dimensional object, there is a maximum,intermediate, and minimum MOI about the part's CM. These threemoments are known as the principal MOIs. The axes about whichthese moments act are called principal axes of inertia. Theseaxes define a unique coordinate system about which the productsof inertia are equal to zero.
The principal MOIs are calculated by substituting the basicMOI and products of inertia into the following determinantequation:
XX-I -P. -Plxx,,xi' z
-PzX - PZN IZz-
The solution to this determinant is a cubic equation, whose rootsyield three values for I. These values, I1, 12, and 13, yield themaximum, intermediate, and minimum values, respectively, of thetest part's MOI.
To determine the orientation of the principal axes, thedirection cosines (a, b, and c) for each axis must be determined.Direction cosines are the cosines of the angles between theprincipal axes (1, 2, and 3) and the basic reference axes (x, y,and z) (Figure 6). The direction cosines are calculated bysubstituting the basic MOIs, the products of inertia, and theindividual principal MOIs (I,, 12, and 13) into the equationswhich follow. This substitution yields three equations withthree unknowns. The calculations must be performed three times,once for each of the principal moments of inertia.
(In - I)a - P1~b - PJc = 0
-PYxa + (Iy - I) b - P•zc = 0
-PZa - P1 ,b + (In - I)c = 0.

As a check, substitute each set of the direction cosines into thefollowing equation: 2a2 + b + c = 1.
Each set of direction cosines defines a principal axis (1, 2,or 3) with respect to the basic coordinate axes. The relationbetween the principal axes and the coordinate axes is shown belowin Figure 7 (Meriam and Kraige, 589-606).

Procedure of operation
The procedures to measure the CM and MOI of test parts arerelatively simple, but must be carefully followed in order toensure accuracy. Before operating the MPI, check for correct setupof the entire system as detailed in the MPI Model KSR330-60
12
instruction manual. The initial start up of the system is as
follows:
1. Remove all objects from the MPI test platform.
2. Turn on the MPI, the gas bearing pressure, the aircompressor, and the computer system. Allow at least 10 minutesfor the console to warm up before operation of the MPI.
3. Execute the KSR program. If the program is notinitiated, the rotary gas bearing system will not be supplied airby the compressor.
4. Press any key to display the main menu (Appendix C).
5. Select the update test information menu and enter theappropriate information. It is important to update the test partID before each test performed.
6. Set the gas bearing pressure for the test part. To doso:
a. With the air off, mount the test fixture and thetest part to the test platform.
b. Turn the air on and turn the pressure regulatorcounterclockwise until the bearing pressure gauge reads zero.
c. Slowly turn the regulator clockwise until the testplatform and the test part float freely on the gas bearing.
d. Note the bearing pressure level.
e. Turn the regulator clockwise to get an additional 5psi on the bearing pressure gauge. WARNING: Do not exceed 95psi on the bearing pressure gauge.
f. Turn the air off at the toggle switch to lock thetest platform in place and remove the test part from the fixturein order to prepare for the test sequence.
Calibration
Individual calibrations must be performed for the CM and theMOI. Both require the use of a calibration beam and weights(Figure 8). The calibration beam must be installed with holes A,B, and C in the qOadrant between the +X and +Y axes. Thecomputer will prompt the operator to place specific weights inparticular holes on the calibration beam (Figure 9). The NPIsystem calibration essentially is a comparison of the measured CM

13
and OI values of the simple weight against their theoretical CMand OI values. After the sequence is complete, the computerwill display that the calibration was accepted or rejected. Anaccepted calibration indicates the machine is operating correctlyand will provide reliable data. If rejected, the system isfaulty and a diagnosis must be performed to find the source oferror. Possible sources include: floor vibration, air drafts,touching the NPI during testing, improper system setup, etc.
Measurements
In order to measure the CH and OI of a test part, theweight of the part and the estimated height of the part's CMabove the test platform must be entered into the computer. Theweight of the test part is crucial in obtaining accurate resultsand should be checked before each calculation is made. Theestimated CM height has only a minor affect on the actualcalculations of the CM. The measurements consist of three steps:
1. Tare measurement.
2. Part measurement.
3. Calculations.
Step 1: Tare measurement
The tare measurement is perf irmed to eliminate the testfixture from the test part's CH i ,d MOI calculations. Duringthis measurement, the fixture to be used to mount the test partonto the platform should be attached. Test fixtures should befabricated to mount to the test platform (Appendix D). It isimportant to mount the test fixture so that the defined test partcoordinate system aligns with the test platform system. If anoffset is present, it should be noted and be accounted for in theCH and MOI test results.
As with the calibration, individual tare measurements mustbe performed for the CK and the MOI. With the fixture in place,press the moment display button off and then on to zero thedisplay. The operator then should follow the screen prompts toinitiate the tare measurement. The computer will take readingsfrom each quadrant and print the results. All subsequent partmeasurements will compensate for the test fixture's properties.If the fixture is to be placed in a different configuration,another tare measurement must be performed for the new fixtureorientation.
14
SteD 2: Part measurement
The test part now should be installed in the fixture andpart measurement selected from the main menu. Again, the CM andMOI tests are two separate functions. For each test, thecomputer will prompt the operator through the sequence and printthe raw data.
Step 3: Calculations
To obtain the test results, the calculations menu should beselected. The program provides the option to calculate the CMand OI separately or together. After selecting whichcalculations are to be made, be sure to verify that the actualweight of the test part and the estimated CM height are enteredproperly. These values are crucial to obtaining correct data.The computer will perform the calculations and print the data.The MOI is given about the test part's CM and the platform'scoordinate system.
Conclusions
After following the procedure to measure the mass propertiesof a test part, several conclusions were made:
1. The positioning of the fixture is crucial to obtainaccurate results. It is necessary for the test part to bereferenced to the pivot axis of the test platform. If thedefined axis of the test part is not aligned with the pivot axisof the test platform, an offset distance will have to be figuredinto the results from the CM calculations.
2. Vertical components of the test fixture must beperpendicular to the test platform. The MPI is incapable offactoring the lean of the vertical components into thecalculations. Therefore, the results will be erroneous if thefixture is not perpendicular.
3. It is important to update the test information beforeeach test. By changing the test part ID each time, the resultswill be labeled appropriately on the printouts. This is veryimportant when performing a series of tests.
4. Each time calculations are done, the mass of the testpart should be entered. This will minimize the possibility ofhaving the calculations based on the wrong test part weight.
5. The MPI must be absolutely isolated from any vibrationin the surrounding environment. Vibration isolators were addedto the described MPI system.
is
6. A test fixture may require the part to be attached insuch a way that would cause an offset between the center axis ofthe test part and that of the test platform. If this is thecase, be sure to attach the part the same way each time so thatthe offset is always in the same direction.
7. The maximum moment allowed due to the offset of the CMof a test part is 60 lb/in. When designing test fixtures, thisrestriction must be kept in mind.
8. Accurate results are obtained by running both the CM andOI tests together and then performing the calculations for both.
The MPI calculates the MOI results about the test part's CM. Ifthe CM was never determined, the MOI results will be based on theCM of the last part tested and will be wrong.

Determination of torsional pendulum physical constant
The calibration constant primarily is a function of thespring rate of the torsion rod. A calibration weight is placedat a known distance from the center of the test platform and theperiod of oscillation (To) is measured. The weight then isplaced at the center of the platform and a second period (T0) isfound. The difference between the two readings is completely dueto the change in MOI. The 1401 change, I, is defined as I = WR,where W is the calibration weight and R is the offset. Thecalibration constant then is determined:
C = I/ (T.' - T.).
