Moment of Inertia

This document provides a table listing several simple laminae or thin plates, their dimensions, and equations for calculating their principal moments of inertia Ix, Iy, and Iz. The laminae included are a uniform rod, circular rim, circular disk, rectangular lamina, elliptical disk, and annulus. For each shape, the table gives a diagram showing its cross-section, defines its key dimensions such as length or radii, and gives the corresponding equation used to calculate each of its principal moments of inertia based on its mass M and dimensions.
