Open publisher page 41 citations

Abstract

This paper discusses two levels of generalization of the parallel axis theorem for rotational inertia. The first relates the moments of inertia about any two parallel axes, whether or not they are passing through the center of mass. The second relates the inertia tensors about any two points.
