Transducer system

Abstract

A transducer system having a transducer structure with a plurality of surfaces to be measured and at least one coupling member for removably coupling an object to the transducer structure. The transducer being coupled to the transducer structure and having at least one strain sensor coupled to the plurality of surfaces to be measured for measuring deformation of the transducer structure in a plurality of directions. The system has a dynamic measurement unit for measuring at least one acceleration of the object and at least one controller. The controller is configured to receive the deformation measurements in the plurality of directions; receive the acceleration measurements; and when the object is removably coupled to the coupling member, determine at least one of mass, moment of inertia, and centre of gravity of the object based on the deformation and acceleration measurements.
