Please, what is GD2?
Is this quantity related to the polar moment of inertia?

Thank you.

GD^2 is the (old) unit of rotational (polar) inertia, in which the D = Diameter. The current unit is J, which is dependant on form. For a cylinder or a massive disk, it is the product of mass X radius^2

OOps, I have to correct myself here. It is ½ * M * r²
