Second Moment of Area of a Hexagon

In this calculation, a hexagon with side width H is considered. As a result of calculations, the area moment of inertia Ix about centroidal axis X, equal to moment of inertia Iy about centroidal axis Y, and cross-sectional area A are determined.

Also, from the known bending moment Mx in the section, it is possible to calculate the maximum bending stress σ of the respective hexagon beam.
