Theoretical Calculations :

For L section .

a=b = 12.7 mm , t1 = t2 = 1.5 mm .

Xc =[ (12.72 x 1.5 /2 )+(11.2 x 1.5 2/ 2) ] / (12.7 x 1.5 + 11.2 x 1.5) = 3.726 mm .

Yc = (12.7/2 x 1.52+ 11.2 x 1.5 ((7.1) 11.2/2+1.5)) / ( 12.7 x 1.5 + 11.2 x 1.5 ) = 3.726 mm

From there we will draw the Mohr circle and find the principle I x ∧I y

-From this Mohr circle we find that :

R = 317.451
OC = 539.155 .
-From that we find the theoretical values :
I x =539.155+317.451 x cos ( 45 )=763.627 mm 4.
I y =539.155−317.451 x cos ( 45 ) =314.683mm 4 .

-From this Mohr circle we find that :

R = 240 .
OC = 1130 .

-From that we find the theoretical values :

Ix = 1130 + 240 cos(45) =1299.705 mm4 .
Iy = 1130 - 240 cos(45) = 960.294 mm4 .
Ixy = R sin(45) = 240 sin(45) = 169.706 mm4 .
