Analysis of the Rim Inertial Measuring System (RIMS)
Abstract
Nonlinear equations of motion are derived for the rim inertial measuring system, which is mounted in a strapped down configuration on a carrier vehicle. The measurement and equations derived from angular rates and linear accelerations were interfaced with the dynamic model of a user defined carried vehicle. Two methods are presented for rate measurement, and the results of the nonlinear computer simulation are presented.
