Explicit Exact Formulas for the 3-D Tetrahedron Inertia Tensor in Terms of its Vertex Coordinates

F. Tonon

Abstract

The inertia tensor of a tetrahedron is composed of its moments of inertia. This study presents explicit exact formulas for the moments of inertia of a 3-D tetrahedron as simple polynomials of its vertex coordinates.
