ON ROTATIONAL INVARIANCE OF HIGHER-ORDER MOMENTS OF REGULAR POLYHEDRA
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil EngineeringThis paper covers aspects of establishing a relationship between the highest-order rotation-invariant moments of inertia and the order of symmetry of Platonic polyhedra. Moments of inertia about arbitrary, but centroidal axes are considered.
