Research on Measurement Equipment for Moment of Inertia of Triple Torsion Bars Based on Torsion Pendulum

Abstract

In order to increase the measuring range of the moment of inertia, a new measurement equipment with triple torsion bars based on torsion pendulum was designed. The equipment could switch the number of torsion bars from single to double or triple by inserting or extracting two movable pins and implement the function of three different measurement devices. The detailed deducing process for the measuring range of the moment of inertia at various measurement states was given. The results show that the measuring range of the measurement equipment has been significantly improved compared with other equipment using single torsion bar or double torsion bars and verify the effectiveness and practicability of the measurement equipment.
