Hello all,
I just had a question on what the formula to calculate Zp was for an ellipse.
I have been pushed in the direction that:
Zp = π/32 ⋅a^3⋅b
Where:
a= half of the major axis length
b= half of the minor axis length
On the other hand, I have been directed that
Zp= Polar moment of Inertia/Farthest point from the centroid
I am trying to calculate the Zp of a cross sectional image of bone, and as that is not a solid or hollow shaft, I am struggling at what formula to use to calculate the Zp.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Archie
