| Lots, maybe even most, complicated integrals just don't have nice simple closed form solutions.
The only way I was able to get any solution out of this was by doing something like
In[1]:= x=2;α=1;β=5; Integrate[μ+Sqrt[(μ-x+Sqrt[x^2-α^2])^2+(1-α)^2],{μ,0,2}]
Out[4]= 7 - 2Sqrt[3]
If I leave pretty much any of those as variables, even with constraints, then I don't find a solution.
