OFAN AREA
In the first nart of this chapter. we consider distributed forces AF AF whose rrrugr.-it.,d"t are proportional to the elements of area M on which the forces act and at the sametime vary linearly with the distancefrom M to a given axis. Consider,for example,a beam of uniform crosssectionwhich is subjectedto two equal and opposite couples applied at each end of the beam. Such a beam is said to be in pure bending,and it is shown in mechanicsof materialsthat the internal forces in any section of the beam are distributed forces whose magnitudesAF : kA M vary linearly with the distancey between the element of area M and an axispassingthrough the centroid of the section.This axis, representedby the r atis in Fig. 9.1, is known as the neutral axis of the section.The forces on one side of the neutral axis are forces while those on the other side are forcesof tension; of compression, Fig. 9.1 on the neutral axis iiself the forces are zero. The magnitudeof the resultantR of the elementalforcesAF which act ovei the entire section is t l

The last integral obtained is recognized as the first moment Q, of the section about the r aris; it is equal to y A and is thus equal to zero, sincethe centroid of the sectionis locatedon the r axis.The systemof the forcesAF thus reducesto a couple.The magnitudeM of thls couple (bending moment) must be equal to the sum of the momentsLM,: A LF : ky' M of the elementalforces.Integrating over the entire section,we obtain M -

| ^ t ^ )ky"dt:kly"de

The last integral is known as the secondmomnnt,or ntoment of inertia,l of the beam sectionwith respectto the r axisand is denoted by 1".It is obtainedby multiplying eachelement of areadAby the square of its distancefrom th-er axisand integrating over the beam section. Since each product y" dA is positive, regardlessof the sign of y, or zero (if y is zero), the integral I, will alwaysbe positive. Another exampleof a secondmoment, or moment of inertia, A of an area is provided by the following problem from hydrostatics:
lThe term second mnment is more proper than the term moment of inertia, since, logically, the latter should be used only to denote integrals of mass (see Sec. 9.11). In engineering practice, horvever, moment of inerlia is used in connection with areas as well as masses'

9.7 MOMENTS INERTIA COMPOSITE OF OF AREAS


Consider a composite areaA made of several component areas 41, A2, . 4r' , . Since the integral representing the moment of inertia of A can be subdivided into integrals evaluated overAl, As, As,. . . the moment , of inertia of A with respect to a given axis is obtamed by adding the moments of inertia of the areas At, Az, A3, . . . , with respect tJ the same axis. The moment of inertia of an area consisting oi several of the common shapes r\o*l in Fig. 9^.12 can thus be obtiined by usi'g theformulas given in that figure. Before adding the moments of inertia of the component areas, however, the parallelaxis theorem mav have to be used to transfer each moment oflnertia to the desired axis.rhis is shown in Sample Probs. 9.4 and 9.5.

which is obtained by multiplying each element dA of an areaA by r its coordinates and y and integratingover the area (Fig. 9.14), is known as the product of inertia of the area A with respect to the x and g axes.Unlike the moments of inertia l, arrdI* the product Fig. 9.I4 of inertia I,u can be positive, negative,or zero. When-one or both of the x and y axesare axesof symmetry for the area A, the product of inertia 1,, rs zero. Consider, for example,the channelsectionshownin Fig, 9.15. Sincethis section with is symmetricalwith respect to the r axis, we can associate dA' of cooreach element dA of coordinatesx and y an element dinates x and -y. Clearly, the contributions to 1", of any pair of elements chosen in this way cancel out, and the integral (9.12) reducesto zero. in theorem similar to the one established Sec'9.6 A parallel-axis of inertia' for moments of inertia can be derived for products Consider an areaA and a systemof rectangularcoordinatesr and y Fig. 9.15

The moment of inertia of a three-dimensionalbody is obtained by evaluatingthe integral I = ! ,n drn. rf the body is rirade rr"-"geneous is _materialof density p, the element of -ass d.m"1" equd,to p dv andwe can write 1 ='p[ 12dv. This integral dependso"ti,roo' the shape of the body. Thus, in order to coirpute'tt" *onl"i or inertia of a three-dimensionalbody, it will geneially be necessary to perform a triple, or at least a double, integration. However, if the body possesses two-planes of slmmetry it is usually possible to determint the body's rioment of inertia with a single integration by choosingas the ellment of massd.m a thin slab to yhi:h is^perpendicular the planes of symmetry.In the case of bodiesof'revolution, for example,the element of masswould be a thin disk (Fig. 9.27).Using forinula (9.42),the moment of inertia of the disk with respect to the axis of revolution can be expressedas indicatedin Fig. 9.27.Its moment of inerlia with respectio eachof the other two coordinate axes is obtained by using formula (g.41) a1{,the.parallel-axistheorem, Integration of the expiessionobtained ' yields the desired moment of ineria of the body,

The locusof the (Fig. 9.30).The equationof that points Q thus obtainedforms a sur{ace suface can be obtainedby substituting7/(OQ)' lor -lsy in (9.46)and then multiplying both sidesof the equationby (OQ)'.

Fis. 9.33

The determination of the principal axesof inertia of a body of arbitrary shape is somewhat involved and will be discussedin the next section. There are many cases,however,where these axescan be spotted immediately,Consider,for instance,the homogeneous cone of elliptical-base shown in Fig. g.B2;this pos"ires two "otr" mutually perpendicular planes of symmetry OAA, an[ OBB,. From the deftnition (9.a5), we observethat if the x'y' and y'2, planes are chosento coincide with the two planesof symmetry all of the products of inertia are zero. The r', q', and i' a"es ihus selectei are therefore the principal axesof ineitia of the cone at O. In the case of the homogeneous regular tetrahedronOABC shownin Fig. g,33, the line joining the corner o to the center D of the oppositJface is a pr:incipal_axis inertia at O, and any line through O p-erpendicular of Io OD is also a principal axis of inertia at O. Thii propetty is apparent if we observethat rotating the tetrahedron thiough iZ0' a6out OD leavesits shapeand massdistribution unchanged.lt follows that the ellipsoidof inertia at o alsoremainsunchanged under this rotation. The ellipsoid, therefore, is a body of revolution whose a:risof revolution is oD, and the line oD, as well as any perpendicular line ' through O, must be a pnncipal axrsof the ellipsoid.

*9.I8 DETERMINATION PRINCIPAT AXES OFTHE AND PRINCIPAT MOMENT$ INERTIA OF OFA BODY ARBITRARY OF SHAPE
The method of analysisdescribedin this section should be used when the body under considerationhas no obvious property of symmetry. Consider the ellipsoid of inertia of the body at a given point O (Fig. 9.34);let r be the radiusvector of a point P on the surfaceof the ellipsoid and let n be the unit vector along the normal to that surfaceat P. We observethat the only points where r and n are collinear are the points Pr, Pz,and Pr, where the principal axesintersect the visible portion of the surfaceof the ellipsoid. and the corresponding points bn the other side of the ellipsoid.

We now recall from calculus that the direction of the normal to a surface equation/(r,y,^): 0 at apoint P(x,y, z) is defined of by the gradient V/of the function/at that point. To obtain the points where the principal axesintersect the surfaceof the ellipsoid of inertia, we must therefore write that r and Yf are collinear, Yf : (2K)r where K is a constant,r : xi + Aj + zk, and Vf:ai+-1i+'k " Ex 6!/" 0x

This is a cubicequation K, whichyieldsthree real,positiveroots in K1 Kz,and K3.

An additionalequationmay be obtained, however,by recalling from Sec.2.I2 that th^e direction cosinesmust satisfzthe relation

Repeating this procedure with K2 and K3, we obtain the direction cosines the other two principal axes. of We will now show that the roots Ky, K2, and ft of Eq. (9.56) are the principal momentsof inertia of the giaen body. Let us substitute for K in Eqs. (9.53) the root K1, and for .tr",trr, and ,\" the corresponding values(),")r, (,\,i)r,and (i.)1 of the direction cosines; will be satisfied. now multiply by (,\,)r, (,\,/)r, We the three equations eachterm in the first, second, and (),,)1, respectively, and third eqirain this way, We write tion and add the equationsobtained

RecallingEq. (9.a6),we observethat the left-hand member of this equation representsthe moment of inertia of the body with respect to the principal axis correspondingto K1; it is thus the principal moment of inertia corresponding that root. On the other hand, to (9.57),we note that the right-handmember reducesto recallingEq. K1. Thus K1 itself is the principal moment of inertia. We can show in the same fashion that tri2 and K3 are the other two principal moments of inertia of the body.

We found that the magnitude of the resultant R is proportional to the first moment Q, = IA dA of the area A, while thJ-o*errt of R about the r axisis proportional to the secondmnm,ent, mnm,ent- inertia, or of I,: IA'dA of A with respect the sameaxislSec.g.2]. to The rectangular momentsof inertia I, and Io of an area lSec. g.3l were obtained by evaluatingthe integrals

Theparallel-axis theoremwas presented sec. 9.6. It states in that the moment of inertia 1 of an area with respect to any given axis AA, (Fig. 9.37) is equal to the moment of lnertia l ot"tt" area with respect to the centroidal u,is BB' that is parallel to AA, plus the product of the areaA and the squareof the &stance d between the tvvo axes:

This formula can also be used to determine the moment of inertia 1 of an area with respect to a centroidal axis BB' when its moment of inertia l with respect to^a parallel axis AA' is known. In this case, howevet the product Ad" should be subtracted from the knowrr moment of inertia 1.
