Abstract
In this paper, an interdisciplinary combination of several state-of-art methods from
biomechanics, modeling and multibody dynamics of the humans is described. The description
of the human figure in the motion is a very important part of biomechanical
analysis. In such current methods it is necessary to us mass moment of inertia as a part
of the fundamental dynamic anthropomeasure when describing this motion. The goal of
this work is to use and modify existing techniques and to investigate what have to be analyzed
to make them work together. First, some general definitions and descriptions of
mass moment of inertia adapted to anthropometric values of our population. Second,
there is also a review of some simple models by means of which it is possible to calculate
distribution of the body-part masses during the motion. The results are given in the
form of equations and tables which present the functions between selected body parts
anthropodynamical measures and percentile distribution values of males as well as females
of Croatian population.
