Radius of gyration is used to describe the distribution of cross sectional area in a column around its centroidal axis Sponsored Links

In structural engineering the Radius of Gyration is used to describe the distribution of cross sectional area in a column around its centroidal axis. •

vs. Radius of Gyration in Mechanics The structural engineering radius of gyration can be expressed as R = (I / A)1/2

(1)

where R = radius of gyration (m, mm, ft, in...) I = Area Moment Of Inertia

(m4, mm4, ft4, in4 ..)

A = cross sectional area (m3, mm2, ft2, in2...)

Some typical Sections and their Radius of Gyration Rectangle - with axis in center

Radius of Gyration for a rectangle with axis in center can be calculated as r = 0.289 h
