Elastic Section Modulus of a Rotated Rectangle

 

Elastic Section Modulus of a Rotated Rectangle formula

\( S_x \;=\;   \dfrac{ b\cdot a\cdot \left(a^2 \cdot cos^2( \theta) + b^2 \cdot sin^2( \theta) \right) }{ 6 \cdot \left( a \cdot cos( \theta) + b\cdot sin( \theta) \right) } \) 
Symbol English Metric
\( S \) = elastic section modulus \( in^3 \)  \( mm^3 \) 
\( a, b \) = edge \( in \) \( mm \)
