Moments of inertia for rotated axis

Consider axis Ox1y1, rotated relative to Oxy by angle α (see figure above). Then moments of inertia relative to these rotated axis can be found as:

Ix1=Ixcos2(α)+Iysin2(α)Ixysin(2α)I_{x1}=I_{x}\cdot cos^{2}(\alpha) + I_{y}\cdot sin^{2}(\alpha) - I_{xy}\cdot sin(2\cdot \alpha)
Iy1=Ixsin2(α)+Iycos2(α)Ixycos(2α)I_{y1}=I_{x}\cdot sin^{2}(\alpha) + I_{y}\cdot cos^{2}(\alpha) - I_{xy}\cdot cos(2\cdot \alpha)
Ix1y1=IxIy2sin(2α)+Ixycos(2α)I_{x1y1}=\frac{I_{x} - I_{y}}{2}\cdot sin(2\cdot \alpha) + I_{xy}\cdot cos(2\cdot \alpha)
