Intersection of two 2D polygons

Once I have the resulting intersecting polygon,
I can use it's coordinates to determine the centroid of it's area which is the center of force transfer for two members glued together which have different geometric shapes or at different angles at the member connection points.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but do a search for the comp.graphics.algorithms faq. This doc has lots of algorithms for computing things like this. Including some ideas for intersecting two polygons, calculating the intersection point of line segments and calculating centroids. Invaluable resource.
