Cross-Sectional Area Calculators
Cross-sectional area is the area of a slice of an object, typically perpendicular to its length. It is used to analyse the object’s properties.
Elastic Section Modulus Calculators
Elastic section modulus is a measure of a cross-section’s ability to resist bending without permanently deforming under elastic deformation.
Second Moment of Area Calculators
The second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia, is a geometric property that reflects how a cross-section’s area is distributed about an axis. It’s crucial in structural engineering because it indicates a beam’s resistance to bending – the larger the second moment of area, the stiffer the section is against flexural deformation.
Stress, Strain and Young’s Modulus Calculators
Stress is the measurement of the amount of force applied per unit area which an object is experiencing. Strain is the extension an object experienced whilst under stress. The Young’s modulus is a ratio of stress to strain, telling us how easily a material can stretch and deform.
