INFLUENCE OF ROTATIONAL INERTIA ON THE TURNING PERFORMANCE OF THEROPOD DINOSAURS

CARRIER, D.R.*; LEE, D.V.; WALTER, R. M.: INFLUENCE OF ROTATIONAL INERTIA ON THE TURNING PERFORMANCE OF THEROPOD DINOSAURS. Turning agility of theropod dinosaurs may have been severely limited by the large rotational inertia of their horizontal trunks and tails. Bodies with mass distributed far from the axis of rotation have much greater rotational inertia than […]
