The Steiner formula and the polar moment of inertia for the closed planar homothetic motions in complex plane (Q277909)

In the present paper, the Steiner area formula and the polar moment of inertia are expressed during one-parameter closed planar homothetic motions in complex plane. The Steiner point or Steiner normal concepts are described according to whether the rotation number is different from zero or equal to zero, respectively. The moving pole point is given with its components and its relation between Steiner point or Steiner normal is specified. As an example, the sagittal motion of a winch is considered. This motion is described by a double hinge consisting of the fixed control panel of winch and the moving arm of winch. The Steiner area formula, the moving pole point, and the polar moment of inertia are calculated for this motion. Moreover, the relation between the Steiner formula and the polar moment of inertia is expressed.
