Mathematically, k.e. is equal to one-half the product of an object's weight (mass) and the square of its velocity. Now, let's relate this to rotational moments of inertia (MOI) and crankshafts ...

The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the ...
