Un laboratorio virtual para la enseñanza de momentos de inercia de figuras planas

Abstract

In this work, we present a graphic user interface (Gui) developed in MatlabQc to easily obtain the gravity center and the matrix of inertia of a plane domain. It is allowed to include holes, an also to consider curved or straight edges. The application represents graphically the domain, the position of the centre of gravity and the principal axes of inertia. From a pedagogical point of view, it can be usefully employed in the context of different subjects in university teaching, such as: Physics, Strength of Materials, Structural Analysis, etc.
