Moment of Inertia Calculator for Different Geometric Shapes

Easily calculate the second moment of inertia of square, rectangle, circle, triangle and many other geometric shapes using this moment of inertia calculator.

It is the second moment of the mass or the area of the body, which can be defined as the moment of moment. It is commonly symbolised by the letter ‘I’.

moment of inertia calculator

Consider a body with a total mass of m. Let it be made up of minuscule particles with masses m1, m2, m3, and so on. If k1, k2, k3…. etc are the distances between two points on a fixed line, as shown in the picture, then the mass moment of inertia of the entire body is given by:

If the area of the figure is considered instead of the mass, the moment of inertia of the area is given by:

The radius of gyration is denoted by ‘k’ in the preceding equation. It is defined as the distance from a particular reference at which the entire mass or area of the body is supposed to be concentrated in order to produce the same value of ‘I’.

Moment of Inertia of Different Geometric Shapes

So that you don’t get confused about how the values of Ixx and Iyy are computed, we’ve included the formulas for all the shapes utilised in this calculator below.

rectangle moment of inertia formula

Rectangle:

Ixx = bd3/ 12

Iyy = db3/ 12

Note: The position of the axis X-X and Y-Y passes through the centroid ‘G’.

hollow rectangle moment of inertia formula

Hollow Rectangle:

Ixx =( 1/12) *(BD3– bd3)

Iyy =( 1/12) *(DB3– db3)

Note: The position of the axis X-X and Y-Y passes through the centroid ‘G’.

circle moment of inertia formula

Circle

Ixx =( π/64) *(D4)

Iyy =( π/64) *(D4)

Note: The position of the axis X-X and Y-Y passes through the centroid ‘G’.

hollow circle moment of inertia formula

Hollow Circle

Ixx =( π/64) *(D4– d4)

Iyy =( π/64) *(D4– d4)

Note: The position of the axis X-X and Y-Y passes through the centroid ‘G’.

semi-circle moment of inertia formula

Semi-Circle

Ixx = 0.11R4

Iyy = πR4/ 8

Note: The position of the axis X-X and Y-Y passes through the centroid ‘G’.

quarter-circle moment of inertia formula

Quarter-Circle

Ixx = 0.055R4

Iyy = 0.055R4

Note: The position of the axis X-X and Y-Y passes through the centroid ‘G’.
