Minimum Width of Plate given Plate Thickness Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Width of Plate
Width of Plate is one of the surface dimensions of a flat, solid plate, typically measured in millimeters or inches. It is one of the larger surface dimensions, while thickness is smaller dimension.
Symbol: B
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Minimum Plate Thickness
Minimum Plate Thickness is the distance between the top and bottom surfaces of a flat, solid plate. This distance is typically measured in millimeters or inches.
Symbol: t
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Allowable Bending Stress
Allowable Bending Stress is the maximum bending stress that can be applied to a material or a structural element without causing failure.
Symbol: Fb
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Actual Bearing Pressure
Actual Bearing Pressure is the exact bearing capacity of the given structure, in simple words it is the ratio of the applied load to the contact area.
Symbol: fp
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Distance from Beam Bottom to Web Fillet
Distance from Beam Bottom to Web Fillet is the distance from the outer face of the flange (the bottom of the beam) to the web toe of the fillet.
Symbol: k
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
