Column Cross-Sectional Area
Column Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional object is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Symbol: A
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Buckling Load
The Buckling Load is the load at which the column starts buckling. The buckling load of a given material depends on the Slenderness ratio, Area of a cross-section, and Modulus of Elasticity.
Symbol: PBuckling Load
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Polar Moment of Inertia
The Polar Moment of Inertia is a measure of an object’s capacity to oppose or resist torsion when some amount of torque is applied to it on a specified axis.
Symbol: Ip
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: mm⁴
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Shear Modulus of Elasticity
The Shear Modulus of Elasticity is the measure of the rigidity of the body, given by the ratio of shear stress to shear strain.
Symbol: G
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Torsional Constant
Torsional Constant is a geometrical property of a bar's cross-section which is involved in the relationship between the angle of twist and applied torque along the axis of the bar.
Symbol: J
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modulus of Elasticity
The Modulus of Elasticity is the measure of the stiffness of a material. It is the slope of stress and strain diagram up to the limit of proportionality.
Symbol: E
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Warping Constant
Warping Constant is often referred to as the warping moment of inertia. It is a quantity derived from a cross-section.
Symbol: Cw
Measurement: Moment of InertiaUnit: kg·m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Length of Column
The Effective Length of Column can be defined as the length of an equivalent pin-ended column having the same load-carrying capacity as the member under consideration.
Symbol: L
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
