Moment of Inertia Calculator
**If you find this utility useful, it would mean lot to me if you shared it with others who would as well. If you are dissatisfied, please feel free to provide feedback at the email below!**
Introduction
This calculator finds the moment of inertia of a custom shape (built using a combination of simple shapes) using the Parallel Axis Theorem. The moment of inertia is an important design element in structural engineering, particularly for members undergoing bending.
Audience
If you have study or plan to study mechanical, aerospace, civil, or structural engineering, it is highly likely you will have to perform the tedious calculations performed by this utility. After having to do these rather monotonous calculations for 3 semesters in a row, and being frustrated with the lack of options online, I decided to create this calculator. I am sure someone out there could find a use for it!
This software should be capable of running on most devices with a keyboard and mouse, which have a resolution greater than or equal to 1280x720 (720p).
Features
Why use this calculator over the admittedly few competitors? :
- Completely free to use!
- Real-time calculations for centroid and moment of inertia.
- Easy to navigate, high efficiency GUI.
- Many shapes to choose from, including thin members.
- Support for rotation of shapes, holes, and more!
