Finding the moment of inertia of composite shapes
The given analytical formulas for the calculation of moments of inertia usually cover, just a handful of rather simple cases. The possible shape geometries one may encounter however, are unlimited, but most of the times, these complex areas can be decomposed to more simple subareas. In this article, you'll learn how to calculate the moment of inertia of a composite shape, using the Parallel Axes Theorem.
