Moment of Inertia for an Area or Second Moment of Area for

typical cross section profiles

Area Moment of Inertia or Moment of Inertia for an Area - also known as Second
Moment of Area - I, is a property of shape that is used to predict deflection, bending
and stress in beams.

Area Moment of Inertia - Imperial units

 inches4
Area Moment of Inertia - Metric units

 mm4
 cm4
 m4
Converting between Units

 1 cm4 = 10-8 m4 = 104 mm4

 1 in4 = 4.16x105 mm4 = 41.6 cm4
Example - Convert between Area Moment of Inertia Units
9240 cm4 can be converted to mm4 by multiplying with 104

(9240 cm4) 104 = 9.24 107 mm4

Area Moment of Inertia (Moment of Inertia for an Area or Second Moment
of Area)

for bending around the x axis can be expressed as

Ix = ∫ y2 dA (1)

where

Ix = Area Moment of Inertia related to the x axis (m4, mm4, inches4)

y = the perpendicular distance from axis x to the element dA (m, mm, inches)

dA = an elemental area (m2, mm2, inches2)

The Moment of Inertia for bending around the y axis can be expressed as

Iy = ∫ x2 dA (2)

where

Ix = Area Moment of Inertia related to the y axis (m4, mm4, inches4)

x = the perpendicular distance from axis y to the element dA (m, mm, inches)

 Area Moment of Inertia for typical Cross Sections II

Area Moment of Inertia vs. Polar Moment of Inertia vs. Moment of Inertia

 "Area Moment of Inertia" is a property of shape that is used to predict deflection,

bending and stress in beams
 "Polar Moment of Inertia" as a measure of a beam's ability to resist torsion - which
is required to calculate the twist of a beam subjected to torque
 "Moment of Inertia" is a measure of an object's resistance to change in rotation
direction.
Section Modulus

 the "Section Modulus" is defined as W = I / y, where I is Area Moment of Inertia

and y is the distance from the neutral axis to any given fiber
