    The document defines key terms related to the moment of inertia, including: - The moment of inertia (I) describes an area's resistance to bending around an axis and is calculated by integrating the distance from the axis squared times the differential area. - The radius of gyration (k) is the distance from the axis that, if all the area was concentrated there, would result in the same moment of inertia. - The polar moment of inertia (Ip) is the sum of the moments of inertia about perpendicular axes through the centroid.

    Moment of Inertia and Properties of Plane Areas


    The Moment of Inertia (I) is a term used to describe the capacity of a cross-section to
    resist bending. It is always considered with respect to a reference axis such as X-X or
    Y-Y. It is a mathematical property of a section concerned with a surface area and how
    that area is distributed about the reference axis (axis of interest). The reference axis is
    usually a centroidal axis.
    The moment of inertia is also known as the Second Moment of the Area and is
    expressed mathematically as:

    Ix = Ay2dA
    Where

    Iy = Ax2dA

    y = distance from the x axis to area dA


    x = distance from the y axis to area dA

    Example

    The radius of gyration of an area with respect to a particular axis is the square root of
    the quotient of the moment of inertia divided by the area. It is the distance at which the
    entire area must be assumed to be concentrated in order that the product of the area
    and the square of this distance will equal the moment of inertia of the actual area about
    the given axis. In other words, the radius of gyration describes the way in which the
    total cross-sectional area is distributed around its centroidal axis. If more area is
    distributed further from the axis, it will have greater resistance to buckling. The most
    efficient column section to resist buckling is a circular pipe, because it has its area
    distributed as far away as possible from the centroid.
    Rearranging we have:
    Ix = kx2A
    Iy = ky2A
    The radius of gyration is the distance k away from the axis that all the area can be
    concentrated to result in the same moment of inertia.
    Polar Moment of Inertia:
    Ip = A2dA
    Ip = A(x2 + y2)dA
    Ip = Ax2dA + Ay2dA
    I p = Ix + Iy
    In many texts, the symbol J will be used to denote the polar moment of inertia.

    Product of Inertia:
    Ixy = AxydA
    Consider the following:

    If an area has at least one axis of symmetry, the product of inertia is zero.

    Parallel Axis Theorem:


    Ix = Ixc + Ad2
    Iy = Iyc + Ad2
    The moment of inertia of an area with respect to any given axis is equal to the moment
    of inertia with respect to the centroidal axis plus the product of the area and the square
    of the distance between the 2 axes.
    The parallel axis theorem is used to determine the moment of inertia of composite
    sections.
