gyradius

Noun

gyradius (plural gyradii)

1. Radius of gyration.
   • It should be noted that the vertical center of gravity (VCG), the longitudinal gyradius, and the natural pitch period do not agree with those required to simulate the full-scale prototype.1966, Bruce Jennings Muga, Experimental and Theoretical Study of Motion of a Barge as Moored in Ocean Waves, Department of Civil Engineering, University of Illinois, page 17
   • The roll, pitch and yaw gyradii (k₄₄, k₅₅ and k₆₆) were determined using the pendulum method by swinging the model in the air.1999, J. de Kat, W. Thomas III, “Extreme Broaching, Rolling and Capsizing-Model Tests and Simulations of a Steered Ship in Waves”, in Twenty-Second Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics, National Academy...
