store_data {AvInertia}

Store data from the inertia calculations in long format

Description

Function to store moment of inertia tensor and center of gravity vector components in long format

Usage

store_data(dat_wingID_curr, dat_mass, mass_properties, name)

Arguments

dat_wingID_curr

Dataframe related to the current bird wing ID info that must include the following columns:

• speciesSpecies ID code as a string

• BirdIDBird ID code as a string

• TestIDTest ID code as a string

• frameIDVideo frame ID code as a string

dat_mass

Dataframe containing the new MOI and CG data to add to mass_properties as new rows. Must include:

• IMoment of inertia tensor (kg-m^2)

• CGCenter of gravity with three location components (m)

mass_properties

Dataframe containing any previously saved data. Must have the following columns: "species","BirdID","TestID","FrameID", "prop_type","component","value".

name

Name of the component for which the moment of inertia and center of gravity were computed.

Value

This function returns mass_properties as an updated dataframe with a new row corresponding to the dat_mass information

# 2. Calculate the inertia of the flight feathers about the tip of the calamus

# 3. Determine the center of gravity of one of the bird's wings
