Elastic Section Modulus of an Isosceles Trapezoid

 

Elastic Section Modulus of an Isosceles Trapezoid formulas

\(  S_x \;=\;   \dfrac{ I_x }{ C_y  }   \)

\(  S_y \;=\;   \dfrac{ I_y }{ C_x  }    \)

Symbol English Metric
\( S \) = elastic section modulus \( in^3\) \( mm^3 \)
\( C \) = distance from centroid \( in \) \( mm \)
\( I \) = moment of inertia \(lbm \;/\; ft^2-sec\) \(kg \;/\; m^2\)
