Hi,
The moment of inertia for a hollow cylinder is given as follows: pi(outer radius^4 - inner radius^4)/4. This hand calculated moment of inertia has been proven to work in calculating bending deflection of the hollow cylinder when comparing the results to outputs in softwares like solidworks FEA. If this hollow cylinder were to be broken up into disks that are connected by I-beams what would the moment of inertia equation be or if you have an idea on how you could possibly adjust it.
