Loads are applied to structure that cause the structure to move, bend, or twist. The product moves, bends, ans/or twists (Inertia) relative to a center of the part (Centroid). Moment of Inertia controls movement.

Used in the design of machines and bridges. Used in calculations of beam deflections and stresses, torsion of shafts, and buckling of columns. Computation of moments of inertia can often be cumbersome. Review (Chap 7) Center of gravity- is the central point where weight of a solid is located Centroid- Location is the first moment of the area. ?x?A Moment of inertia is the second moment of the area. ?x2?A References Web sites from or /categories/engineering/mechanical/html/momen1.html Moments of Inertia and Radii of Gyration Moment of inertia of an area Second moment of the area computed with respect to the axis Figure 8.1 Moments of inertia of an area element ?A about the x and y axes are ?Ix = y2?A and ?Iy= x2?A Moments of inertia for the entire area A about the x and y axes are Ix = ? y2?A and Iy= ? x2?A Note: the value of the moment of inertia is always p
