8.2 Parallel Axis (Steiner) Theorem:

While the moment of inertia is known about an axis passing through the center of gravity, the moment of inertia can be found about another axis parallel to this axis. As follows:

 

A: Area, d : It is the perpendicular distance between the x – xG axes

Attention:

There are 2 important conditions for the parallel axis (steiner) theorem to be applied:

1- The axes must be parallel to each other.

2- One axis must pass through the center of gravity.

Similarly;

The final equation we obtain is:

Equation of a Circle with center (a;0):

 

 

 

 

 

So we can express this last equation with a circle

This circle is called Mohr's Circle for Moments of Inertia and is the geometric expression of the moments of inertia with respect to all axes passing through a point.

If the Mohr circle is drawn to scale, the desired moments of inertia can be determined by geometric measurements.

In reality, if we turn by an angle of θ from the +x axis, we arrive at the +u axis. However, starting from the point (M) where we are on the circle, we turn by an angle of 2θ in the same direction as in reality, and in this case, we arrive at point K on the circle.

(For the strength lesson) Let's keep in mind now: If the direction of the resultant bending moment vector coincides with one of the principal axes, simple bending occurs with respect to the principal inertia axis set. This is a rule valid for all cross-sectional shapes.
