Polar Moment of Inertia
• The polar moment of inertia is an important
parameter in problems involving torsion of
cylindrical shafts and rotations of slabs.
J 0 = ∫ r 2 dA

Radius of Gyration of an Area
• Consider area A with moment of inertia
Ix. Imagine that the area is
concentrated in a thin strip parallel to
the x axis with equivalent Ix.
I
I x = k x2 A kx = x
A
kx = radius of gyration with respect
to the x axis
• Similarly,
Iy
Iy = k y2 A ky =
A
JO
J O = kO2 A kO =
A
kO2 = k x2 + k y2
