AREA MOMENT OF INERTIA ROUND BAR

Round bar area and moment of inertia calculator for section modulus, second moment of area, area, radius of gyration and mass of a solid round rod.

Steel round bars are covered by ASTM A108 “Standard Specification for Steel Bar, Carbon and Alloy, Cold-Finished”, A36/A36m “Standard Specification for Carbon Structural Steel” and ASTM A276 “Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Bars and Shapes“ standards. Round bars are generally needed for the production of axles, pins, shafts, etc.

Definitions:

Polar Moment of Inertia: A geometric property of the cross section. Measure of ability how a beam resists torsion.

Radius of Gyration (Area): The distance from an axis at which the area of a body may be assumed to be concentrated and at which the second moment area will be equal to the second moment area of the actual body about the same axis. Radius of gyration is equal to the square root of the quotient of the second moment area and the area.

Second Moment of Area: The capacity of a cross-section to resist bending.

Section Modulus: The moment of inertia of the area of the cross section of a structural member divided by the distance from the center of gravity to the farthest point of the section; a measure of the flexural strength of the beam.
