Moment of Inertia: Imn Ix Iy 2 Ix Iy 2 Ixy

1. The document provides steps to calculate the moment of inertia of a cross-sectional shape about a set of reference axes. 2. It involves dividing the shape into simple elements, finding the area and centroid of each, and using formulas to calculate the second moment of area and moments of inertia of each element. 3. These values are then summed to calculate the total moment of inertia, Ix and Iy, about the reference axes, as well as the product of inertia, Ixy.

Moment

1.

Of

Inertia

Divide the cross-sectional area into elements. Cut up the cross-section into simple shapes,
such as rectangles, triangles, circles, etc.

2.

Determine the area of each element. After finding these, add them all together to find the total
area of the shape.

3.

Select a convenient system of coordinate axes. It is best if the coordinate axes lay outside of
the cross-section.

4.

Find the centroids of each element relative to the coordinate axes. Record distance from the
1
1
centroid to the x axes as x , and distance from the centroid to the y axes as y .

5.

Calculate the 2 moment of area for each element about the reference axes.
Multiply the Area of each element by the square of the distance from the centroid of
1
1
each element to the centroid of the cross-section(x and y ).

8.

Calculate moments of Inertia of each element about its own centroid. Check the
basic shapes at the bottom of poster for help.

9.

Calculate Ix and Iy. Do this by adding the results from step 7 and 8.

11. Find the principal moments of inertia. Use this equation.


1

Locate the centriod of the entire cross-section relative to the reference axes. This is done by
dividing the Aix and Aiy by the total area.

10. Calculate Ixy. Add together the Area for each element multiplied by x and y with
Ioxy for each element, and sum the results for all the elements.

Find the static moment of each element. Multiply the Area of each element with the distance
from the centroid of each element to the reference axes(x and y). Add them all together to get
total static moments Aix and Aiy.
