• When the x axis, the y
axis, or both are an axis
of symmetry, the product
of inertia is zero.

products of inertia:
I xy = I xy + x y A

10.7 Moments of Inertia about inclined axis
In structural and mechanical design, it is sometimes necessary to calculate
the moment of inertia with respect to a set of inclined u, v, axes when the
values of θ , Ix, Iy, Ixy are known.
To do this we will use transformation
equations which relates the x, y, and
x’, y’ coordinates.
From Figure, these equations are:
Note: x′ = x cosθ + y sin θ
y ′ = y cosθ − x sin θ

Given
I x = ∫ y 2 dA I y = ∫ x 2 dA
I xy = ∫ xy dA
we wish to determine moments and
product of inertia with respect to
new axes x’ and y’.

• By adding the equations for Ix’ and Ix’ we
can show that the polar moment of inertia
about z axis passing through point O is
independent of the orientation of x’ and y;
Jo = Ix’ + Iy’ = Ix + Iy
• These equations show that Ix’ , Iy’ and Ix’y’
depend on the angle of the inclination, θ,
of the x’, y’ axes.

Principal Axes and Principal Moments of Inertia
We will now determine the orientation of these axes about which Ix’ , Iy’
are maximum and minimum. This particular axes are called principal axes
By differentiating the first of Eqs. 10-9 with respect to θ and setting the
result to zero. Thus;
dI x '
dθ
Therefore, at θ = θp ;
By substituting for θ in Ix’ , Iy’ and Ix’y’ equations and simplifying ,
we obtain;
