Moment of Resistance Formula Elements

Variables
Moment of Resistance
Moment of resistance is the couple produced by the internal forces in a beam subjected to bending under the maximum permissible stress.
Symbol: Mresistance
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Young's Modulus of Beam
Young's Modulus of Beam is a measure of the ability of a material to withstand changes in length when under lengthwise tension or compression.
Symbol: E
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
MOI of Area of Circular Section
MOI of Area of Circular Section define its resistance to rotation or bending when subjected to external forces. A larger MOI means the structure will be more resistant to deformation.
Symbol: Icircular
Measurement: Second Moment of AreaUnit: mm⁴
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Radius of Neutral Layer
Radius of Neutral Layer is the location within a material under bending where the stress is zero. The neutral layer lies between the compressive and tensile regions of the material.
Symbol: R
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Moment of Resistance?

Moment of Resistance evaluator uses Moment of Resistance = (Young's Modulus of Beam*MOI of Area of Circular Section)/Radius of Neutral Layer to evaluate the Moment of Resistance, The Moment of resistance formula is defined as a measure of the opposition to bending stress in a beam, which is a critical parameter in structural analysis, helping engineers to design and optimize beam structures to withstand external loads and stresses. Moment of Resistance is denoted by Mresistance symbol.

How to evaluate Moment of Resistance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Moment of Resistance, enter Young's Modulus of Beam (E), MOI of Area of Circular Section (Icircular) & Radius of Neutral Layer (R) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Moment of Resistance

What is the formula to find Moment of Resistance?
The formula of Moment of Resistance is expressed as Moment of Resistance = (Young's Modulus of Beam*MOI of Area of Circular Section)/Radius of Neutral Layer. Here is an example- 8.1E+6 = (14000000*1.154E-09)/0.002.
How to calculate Moment of Resistance?
With Young's Modulus of Beam (E), MOI of Area of Circular Section (Icircular) & Radius of Neutral Layer (R) we can find Moment of Resistance using the formula - Moment of Resistance = (Young's Modulus of Beam*MOI of Area of Circular Section)/Radius of Neutral Layer.
What are the other ways to Calculate Moment of Resistance?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Moment of Resistance-
  • Moment of Resistance=(Stress in Layer*MOI of Area of Circular Section)/Distance from Neutral LayerOpenImg
Can the Moment of Resistance be negative?
No, the Moment of Resistance, measured in Torque cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Moment of Resistance?
Moment of Resistance is usually measured using the Newton Millimeter[N*mm] for Torque. Newton Meter[N*mm], Newton Centimeter[N*mm], Kilonewton Meter[N*mm] are the few other units in which Moment of Resistance can be measured.
