What Does POI Stand For?
POI stands for Product Of Inertia
POI, or Product Of Inertia, refers to a mathematical representation of an object's resistance to rotational motion around a specified axis. It is a critical concept in dynamics and structural analysis, used to determine how mass distribution affects an object's rotational behavior. The POI is calculated by integrating the product of mass elements and their squared distances from the axis of rotation, providing valuable insights in engineering and physics applications, such as in the design of mechanical systems and the analysis of stability.
