Area Moment of Inertia Converter

Convert between Area Moment of Inertia units.

Area Moment of Inertia or Moment of Inertia of 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 - Square section

The general equation for Moment of Inertia for bending around an axis can be expressed as

Iaxis = ∫ y2 dA                          (1)

where

Iaxis = Area Moment of Inertia related to an axis (m4, mm4, in4, ft4)

y = the perpendicular distance from axis to the element dA (m, mm, in, ft)

dA = an elemental area (m2, mm2, in2, ft2)
