3. 17.1 Mass Moment of Inertia
We define the moment of inertia as the integral of the “second moment” about an axis of all
the elements of mass dm which compose the body
8. 17.1 Mass Moment of Inertia
Parallel-Axis Theorem
If the moment of inertia of the body about an axis passing through the
body’s mass center is known, then the moment of inertia about any other
parallel axis can be determined by using the parallel-axis theorem.
9. 17.1 Mass Moment of Inertia
Radius of Gyration:
Occasionally, the moment of inertia of a body about a specified axis is reported in
handbooks using the radius of gyration, k.
If the body mass is condensed in one point, the required perpendicular distance
between a given axis and the mass point to have the same mass moment of inertia as
that of the body is called radius of gyration
Composite Bodies:
If a body consists of a number of simple shapes such as disks, spheres, and rods, the
moment of inertia of the body about any axis can be determined by adding algebraically
the moments of inertia of all the composite shapes computed about the axis.
