Second Moment of Area of a Circle Segment

 

Second Moment of Area of a Circle Segment formulas

\( I_{x} \;=\;   \dfrac{ r^4 }{ 8 } \cdot    \left( \Delta - sin( \Delta) + 2 \cdot  sin( \Delta) \cdot sin^2 \left( \dfrac{ \Delta }{ 2 }  \right)    \right)    \) 

\( I_{y} \;=\;   \dfrac{ r^4 }{ 24 } \cdot   \left(  3 \cdot \Delta - 3 \cdot  sin( \Delta) - 2 \cdot sin( \Delta) \cdot sin^2 \left(\dfrac{ \Delta }{ 2 } \right) \right)   \) 

Symbol English Metric
\( I \) = moment of inertia \( in^4 \) \( mm^4 \)
\( \Delta \) = angle \( deg \) \( rad \)
\( r \) = radius \( in \) \( mm \)
