Parallel axis theorem state that "The Moment of Inestia (M I) about any axis in the plane of lamina is equal to the sum of the M.I of that lamina about the centoidal axis parallel to the given axis and the product of the area of lamina and square of the perpendicular distance between the two axis"

The '''parallel axis theorem''', also known as '''Huygens&ndash;Steiner theorem''', or just as '''Steiner's theorem''',<ref>{{citation | title=Introduction to theoretical physics | author=Arthur Erich Haas | year=1928}}</ref> named after [[Christiaan Huygens]] and [[Jakob Steiner]], can be used to determine the [[moment of inertia]] or the [[second moment of area]] of a [[rigid body]] about any axis, given the body's moment of inertia about a [[Parallel (geometry)|parallel]] axis through the object's [[center of gravity]] and the [[perpendicular]] [[distance]] between the axes.

===Derivation===

We may assume, without loss of generality, that in a [[Cartesian coordinate system]] the perpendicular distance between the axes lies along the ''x''-axis and that the center of mass lies at the origin. The moment of inertia relative to the ''z''-axis is then

:<math>I_\mathrm{cm} = \int (x^2 + y^2) \, dm.</math>

The moment of inertia relative to the axis {{math|''z&prime;''}}, which is aat perpendiculara distance {{math|''D''}} from the center of mass along the ''x''-axis from the centre of mass, is

:<math>I = \int \left[(x +- D)^2 + y^2\right] \, dm.</math>

Expanding the brackets yields

:<math>I = \int (x^2 + y^2) \, dm + D^2 \int dm +- 2D\int x\, dm.</math>

The first term is {{math|''I''_cm}} and the second term becomes {{math|''mDMD''²}}. The integral in the final term is a multiple of the x-coordinate of the [[center of mass]]{{snd}}which is zero since the center of mass lies at the origin. So, the equation becomes:

:<math> I = I_\mathrm{cm} + mDMD^2.</math>

=== Tensor generalization ===

The parallel axis theorem can be generalized to calculations involving the [[Moment of inertia#Inertia_tensorInertia tensor|inertia tensor]].<ref Let {{math|''I<subname="Abdulghany">ij</sub>''}} denote the inertia tensor of a body as calculated at the centre of mass.

For diagonal elements (when {{math|''i'' {{=}} ''j''}}), displacements perpendicular to the axis of rotation results in the above simplified version of the parallel axis theorem.

Further generalization of the parallel axis theorem gives the inertia tensor about any set of orthogonal axes parallel to the reference set of axes x, y and z, associated with the reference inertia tensor, whether or not they pass through the center of mass.<ref name="Abdulghany"/>A.

==Moment of inertia matrix==

The inertia matrix of a rigid system of particles depends on the choice of the reference point.<ref name="Kane">{{citation|first1=T. R. |last1=Kane and |first2=D. A. |last2=Levinson, [https://www.amazon.com/Dynamics-Theory-Applications-Mechanical-Engineering/dp/0070378460 |title=Dynamics, Theory and Applications],|publisher= McGraw-Hill, NY,New York|year= 2005.}}</ref> There is a useful relationship between the inertia matrix relative to the center of mass '''R''' and the inertia matrix relative to another point '''S'''. This relationship is called the parallel axis theorem.

Consider the inertia matrix [I_S] obtained for a rigid system of particles measured relative to a reference point '''S''', given by

y^2+z^2 & -xy & -xz \\ -y x & x^2+z^2 & -yz \\ -zx & -zy & x^2+y^2 \end{bmatrix}.</math>

This product can be computed using the matrix formed by the outer product ['''R''' '''R'''^T] using the identifyidentity
