This paper explores how the analysis of differential elements and dimensional analysis can simplify the computation of the moment of inertia of certain rigid bodies by exploiting symmetries in these bodies. Integration is used scarcely, if at all, throughout this paper to emphasize the versatility of the method employed.

Experiments have been carried out on determining the value of the moment of inertia of a hollow cylinder. This study aims to analyze the value of the moment of inertia with variations in the radius of the hollow cylinder using the Phyphox Application (Physical Phone Experiment). This research is experimental. The tools and material used area 1-meter longboard, three hollow cylinders with different radius sizes but the same mass, smartphone, laptop, caliper, and balance.The experiment of rolling motion on a hollow cylinder on an inclined plane is assisted by data processing in a Phyphoxapplication. From the experiment, the result of the moment of inertia value from data processing is 4.89 x 10-4kg.m2, 9.82 x 10-4kg.m2, 12.4 x10-4kg.m2. This research can be used as a teacher reference in teaching the topic of moments of inertia in physics learning at school. This is highly recommended for distance learning during the pandemic so that mastery of concepts is maximized. Further research is suggested that it can be tried to use other materials with other types of rigid bodies to find the moment of inertia. Further references on digital application media to assist learning are also needed considering the dynamic development of technology.

The moment of inertia of a plane lamina about any axis not in this plane can be easily calculated if the moments of inertia about two mutually perpendicular axes in the plane are known. Then one can conclude that the moments of inertia of regular polygons and polyhedra have symmetry about a line or point, respectively, about their centres of mass. Furthermore, the moment of inertia about the apex of a right pyramid with a regular polygon base is dependent only on the angle the axis makes with the altitude. From this last statement, the calculation of the centre of mass moments of inertia of polyhedra becomes very easy.

A torsional vibration model of the slewing mechanism of a hydraulic excavator is developed to predict its free vibration characteristics with consideration of many fundamental factors, such as the mesh stiffness of gear pairs, the coupling relationship of a two stage planetary gear trains and the variety of moment of inertia of the input end caused by the motion of work equipment. The natural frequencies are solved using the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Taking the moment of inertia of the input end for example to illustrate the relationship between the natural frequencies of the slewing mechanism and its parameters, based on the simulation results, just the first order frequency varies significantly with the moment of inertia of the input end of the slewing mechanism.

The control of permanent magnet synchronous motor has become an important research, and many control methods have been developed because of its high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics. This article proposes a new motor control approach based on synergetic approach in control theory (SACT) and sliding-mode control (SMC). Since the load torque of the motor will change, the moment of inertia will increase in the experiment. The load torque is estimated by the sliding-mode observer. The moment of inertia is calculated by the least squares method by adding a forgetting factor. The practical application of synergetic control theory broadens the train of thought to meet the demand of high-performance motor drive further. The simulation and experimental results show that this control scheme in this article can improve the transient response and system robustness of dynamic systems.

In order to find the principal axes of inertia and calculate their moment of inertia to any plane homogeneous rigid body for calculating easily the moment of inertia to any axis of this rigid body, the principal axes could be found and their moment of inertia could be calculated automatically by using the reading-image of MATLAB to read the image messages about the flat surface of the rigid body and by the procedures which ware made according to the logic relation about the principal axis and the moment of inertia of the rigid body. Applying this method in a homogeneous cube, a result was acquired, error of which is small compared with the theoretical value. So this method is reliable, convenient and practical
