Mass moment of inertia of a body about an axis is defined as the sum of the product of its elemental masses and square of their distances from the axis. Radius of gyration of a solid body can be given as where I is mass moment of inertia, M is the mass of the body, and k is the radius of… Continue reading  MASS MOMENT OF INERTIA

The composite section in Figure 11.20 can be divided into three parts—triangular part of area A1, rectangular part of area A2, and semicircular part of area A3. The individual centroid for each section is shown in Figure 11.20 as C1, C2, and C3. The centroid of entire section is located at C. Consider the moment of inertia of the sections 1, 2, and 3 about the… Continue reading Moment of Inertia of Some Composite Sections
