Moment of Inertia
Introduction
• Previously considered distributed forces which were proportional to the area or volume over
which they act.
- The resultant was obtained by summing or integrating over the areas or volumes.
- The moment of the resultant about any axis was determined by computing the first
moments of the areas or volumes about that axis.
• Will now consider forces which are proportional to the area or volume over which they act but
also vary linearly with distance from a given axis.
- It will be shown that the magnitude of the resultant depends on the first moment of the
force distribution with respect to the axis.
- The point of application of the resultant depends on the second moment of the
distribution with respect to the axis.

Product of Inertia
• Product of Inertia:
I xy = xy dA
x = x cos + y sin
Note: y = y cos − x sin
Given I x = y 2 dA I y = x 2 dA
I xy = xy dA
• The change of axes yields
we wish to determine moments and product of inertia with respect to new axes x’ and y’.
Ix + I y Ix − I y
I x = + cos 2 − I xy sin 2

Ix + I y Ix − I y
I y = − cos 2 + I xy sin 2

Ix − I y
I xy = sin 2 + I xy cos 2

Parallel Axis Theorem
• For the rectangular axes with origin at O and parallel centroidal axes,
( )
I x = y 2 + z 2 dm = ( y + y )2 + ( z + z )2 dm
= (y 2 + z 2 )dm + 2 y y dm + 2 z z dm + (y 2 + z 2 ) dm
I AA = r 2 dm = t r 2 dA
= t I AA,area
• Similarly, for perpendicular axis BB’ which is also contained in the plate,
I BB = t I BB,area

I AA = I BB = t I AA,area = t 14 r 4 = 14 mr 2
I CC = I AA + I BB = 12 mr 2

• For bodies with two planes of symmetry, the moment of inertia may be
obtained from a single integration by choosing thin slabs perpendicular to
the planes of symmetry for dm.
