Semiclassical shell-structure components of the collectivemoment of inertia are derived within the mean-field cranking model in the adiabatic approximation in terms of the free-energy shell corrections through those of a rigid body for the statistically equilibriumrotation of a Fermi system at finite temperature by using the nonperturbative extended Gutzwiller periodic-orbit theory. Their analytical structure in terms of the equatorial and 3-dimensional periodic orbits for the axially symmetric harmonic oscillator potential is in perfect agreement with the quantum results for different critical bifurcation deformations and different temperatures.
