Is radius of gyration same for both types of moment of inertia?
We know that moment of inertia is commonly known as second moment of area. Which is $\int_{}{} y^2 dA$.
However there another moment of inertia called as mass moment of inertia given by $\int_{}{} r^...

What are the principles (if there are any) behind the conservation of bending moment in frame analysis?
I notice from this question that the moments at joint connection are somehow "conserved", or being "transferred" from one element to the others. In other words, there are no "missing moment".
Note ...

Flexural modulus for a beam fixed at one end
For a beam supported at both ends with a mass in the middle, the flexural modulus is given by:
$$E_b = \frac{F L^3}{48I d}$$
with I as the area moment
$$I = \frac{1}{12}wh^3$$
How does the ...
