Parallelogram Beam Cross Section
Calculate beam cross section properties for solid and hollow parallelogram 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 sections the wall thickness on opposite sides are assumed equal. Axis L is parallel to the base. Axis M is perpendicular to the base. Axis 1 and 2 are the principal axes. The geometry should be arranged so that the offset is positive. Refer to the figures for more details. Reference : Roark's Formulas For Stress And Strain, Warren C Young, McGraw Hill Change Module :

CALCULATOR : Beam Cross Section Properties (Parallelogram Beam) [FREE] ±
Calculate parallelogram beam cross section properties for solid and hollow beams. For hollow sections the wall thickness on opposite sides are assumed equal. Axis L is parallel to the base. Axis M is perpendicular to the base. Axis 1 and 2 are the pricipal axes. Section properties can also be calculated for an axis parallel to the side, perpendicular to the side, or at a user defined angle relative to the L axis. The parallelogram geometry should be arranged so that the offset is positive. Refer to the figure for more details. Tool Input- modptype : Material Type
