Today’s Agenda First half of class: Area Moments of Inertia Second half of class Questions to prep for Exam #3 Questions about Group Design Project Notes: BYO Wine Bottle or use mine Read carefully, object must be unstable when unloaded
6
Significance Not immediately intuitive Consider three common mechanics scenarios Fluid pressure Bending moment on beam Torsional loading on beam Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 442 Learn it / use it because it’s helpful
7
Significance All three scenarios share common principle Moment caused by fluid pressure Total bending moment Total moment about longitudinal axis
8
Definition Refer to as “moment of inertia” Analogous to inertial forces in rotating bodies More appropriate name second moment of area (First moment = “moment”) Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 442
9
Practice Problem A/3 Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 450
10
Radius of Gyration Some area “A” with a moment of inertia I y What if you... Smush the area into tiny strip? Place a distance k y from the y-axis? Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 443-444
11
Radius of Gyration Calculate I y And what did that do exactly?.... Just a property of the given area It has its uses (stability of columns, behavior of polymer chains)
12
Parallel Axis Theorem Scoot area from axis to new location Find moment of inertia about new location? Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 444
13
Parallel Axis Theorem (Proof in text) Find moment of A about its centroid (“ I y ”) Take distance to centroidal axis (“d y ”) Remember! Must be parallel axis Must pass through centroid Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 444-445
14
Practice Problem A/12 Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 451 NOTE: Remember Table D/3 p. 497-498
15
Complex Shapes Moment of inertia is integration (adding up many differential parts) Works with finite pieces too (comparable to composite centroids)
16
Practice Problem A/35 Meriam, JL and Kraige, LG. Statics 7 th Ed. Wiley 2012. p. 459
17
Other Considerations Other relationships in text I for rectangular and polar Radius of gyration rectangular and polar Simple tools developed today... but can be used for virtually any shape
18
For Exam #3 Can fill out a note card Up to 4” x 6” One side only Bring to me for approval on Wednesday Three problems Distributed loading / shear & moment diagrams Buoyancy Friction Review
19
For Next Class Practice Problems 6/63 & 6/66 Think of questions and review problems Exam #3 on Monday! Group Design Project due next Wednesday!
20
Open Time Ask individual questions on HW Work on group design project
