Elliptical And Semi Elliptical Beam Cross Section

Calculate beam cross section properties for elliptical and semi elliptical beams: cross section area, moment of inertia, polar moment of inertia, mass moment of inertia, plastic modulus, section modulus, shape factor, radius of gyration, EI, EA, EAα, unit mass, total mass, unit weight and specific gravity.

For hollow ellipse and semi ellipse sections the internal and external sections can be assumed elliptical (the wall thickness is not constant), or the wall thickness can be assumed constant (the mid wall is assumed elliptical but the internal and external surfaces are not elliptical). Refer to the figures for more details.

CALCULATOR : Beam Cross Section Properties (Elliptical Beam) [FREE]   ±

Calculate elliptical beam cross section properties for solid and hollow beams.

For hollow ellipse sections the internal and external sections can be assumed elliptical (the wall thickness is not constant), or the wall thickness can be assumed constant (the mid wall is assumed elliptical but the internal and external surfaces are not elliptical). Refer to the figure for more details. Section properties which can not be calculated are set to zero.

CALCULATOR : Beam Cross Section Properties (Semi Elliptical Beam) [FREE]   ±

Calculate semi elliptical beam cross section properties for solid and hollow beams.

For hollow ellipse sections the internal and external sections are assumed elliptical (the wall thickness is not constant). For hollow sections with constant wall thickness, the mid wall is assumed elliptical (the internal and external surfaces are not elliptical). Refer to the figure for more details. Section properties which can not be calculated are set to zero.
