Center of Mass Vs Center of Rigidity

The document discusses the center of mass (CM) and center of rigidity (CR) of structural elements. The CM is calculated based on the mass and location of each component. The CR is where there is no net rotation when loads are applied. Allowable eccentricity between the CM and CR is less than 15% of the corresponding dimension. A table is included to calculate the eccentricity as a percentage of each dimension.
