Hello everyone,
I am having troubles at calculating second moment of area, i have data for a shape (Airfoil) in an Excel file with two columns (x and y axis).
The Profile looks like this :
And the equation for calculating second moment of area is this double integral :
I've tried using Trapz but i still can't find the right way.
I would apreciate any hints or solutions. Thanks in advance.
