FAQ

What is the Area Moment of Inertia?
Area Moment of Inertia is a property of a two-dimensional plane shape that characterizes its deflection under loading. Area Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Millimeter⁴ for Second Moment of Area. Note that the value of Area Moment of Inertia is always positive.
Can the Area Moment of Inertia be negative?
No, the Area Moment of Inertia, measured in Second Moment of Area cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Area Moment of Inertia?
Area Moment of Inertia is usually measured using the Millimeter⁴[mm⁴] for Second Moment of Area. Meter⁴[mm⁴], Centimeter⁴[mm⁴] are the few other units in which Area Moment of Inertia can be measured.
