Parallel Axis Theorem

¢ If you know the moment of inertia about a centroidal axis of a figure, you can calculate the moment of inertia about any parallel axis to the centroidal axis using a

simple formula 2 IIAxyy=+ 2 IIAyxx=+ 28 Centroid and Moment of Inertia Calculations

Parallel Axis Theorem

¢ Since we usually use the bar over the centroidal axis, the moment of inertia about a centroidal axis also uses the bar

over the axis designation

2 IIAxyy=+ 2 IIAyxx=+ 29 Centroid and Moment of Inertia Calculations

Parallel Axis Theorem

¢ If you look carefully at the expression, you should notice that the moment of inertia about a centroidal axis will always be the minimum moment of inertia about any axis

that is parallel to the centroidal axis. 2 IIAxyy=+ 2 IIAyxx=+ 30 Centroid and Moment of Inertia Calculations
