Second Moment of Area Summary
The second moment of area (or moment of inertia of area) about the x or y axis can be found using the integral of y^2 dA and x^2 dA respectively. <b<br/>r/>
The larger the moment of inertia, the greater resistance to bending / rotation.
The larger the moment of inertia, the greater resistance to bending / rotation.
