Product of Inertia/Parallel Axis Theorem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around applying the parallel axis theorem and product of inertia to a shape with rounded corners, where the user lacks specific information about those corners. They have area and moment of inertia values (Ix, Iy) but are unsure how to derive the product of inertia (Ixy) from this data. There is uncertainty about whether to disregard the rounded corners and simplify the shape to two rectangles for calculations. Additionally, the user seeks assistance with a broken link to a related problem and requests a figure for clarity. Overall, the conversation highlights challenges in applying theoretical concepts to complex geometries.

The problem is very similar to #9.74, here: http://books.google.com/books?id=o4...&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPA504,M1"

I understand how the parallel axis theorem and product of inertia 'work,' but I don't understand what to do with this particular shape.

It has the rounded corners, and I am given no information about them. I have area, Ix, Iy, etc given in a table, but that is all.

Is there some way to go from Ix/Iy to Ixy or something?

Or am I just supposed to ignore the rounded corners and treat it like it is 2 rectangles?

Thanks

Any help anyone?
 
I am unable to complete the link to the problem. Have you tested the link?
If you can post a figure, it would definitely help.
