I guess you know that the result can be written as a polynomial. $$w_0+w_1{\cdot}r+\dots+w_n{\cdot}r^n.$$ So your question is how to estmate the coefficients $w_i$; they arethis is so called "Cross"cross-sectional measures", and they can be defined for any convex body $K$.

  • $w_0$ is the volume of $K$,
  • $w_n$ is the volume of unit ball.
  • $w_1$ is the area of the boundary of $K$, I think there is no good formula in generalfor ellipsoid, but estimates are known and you could write it as an integral.
  • I am sure that there is no good formula for the rest ofwould be surprised if some remaining $w_i$ can be expressed by simple formula.

If you want to write $w_i$ as an integral, check for example Burago--Zalgaller, Geometric inequalities. ForeFor example $$w_i=\mathrm{MayBeAConst}{\cdot}\int_{\partial K} \sigma_{n-i}(k_1,k_2,\dots,k_{n-1})\\, d\mathrm{area}.$$$$w_i=\mathrm{MayBeAConst}\cdot\int\limits_{\partial K} \sigma_{i-1}(k_1,k_2,\dots,k_{n-1})\\, d\mathrm{area}.$$ where $\sigma_i$ is the $i$-th elementary symmetric polynomial and $k_i$ are principle curvatures. In your case it is easy to find $k_i$...
