Assuming that I have a C-Channel When the load acts along the X-X axis, we take Iyy for the Bending moment calculations. Similarly, when load acts along the Y-Y axis, we take Ixx. But if i have a load that acts on Z-Z axis, how do I calculate the Moment of Inertia? PLS SEE THE ATTACHMENTS...

Hi, This question came up on my midterm and I had no idea how to answer it without redrawing the entire curve as a stress vs. strain curve (which obviously took too long to do). Anyway, I'm just requesting a general procedure, not a numerical answer. If you had a Load (y-axis) vs...
