Hollow Circular Section

 

 

This procedure  returns properties of a hollow circular section.

 

Inputs

d = diameter [m, ft]

d_i = inner diameter [m, ft]

 

Outputs

A = area [m^2, ft^2]

I = moment of inertia [m^4, ft^4]

Z = section modulus [m^3, ft^3]

J =  polar moment of inertia  [m^4, ft^4]

rho = radius of gyration [m, ft]

 

Example:   

$Load Mechanical Design

$Load Mechanical Design

$UnitSystem SI K Pa 

$VarInfo A units=m^2

$VarInfo I  units=m^4

$VarInfo J units=m^4

$VarInfo rho units=m

$VarInfo Z units=m^3

d=0.12 [m]

d_i=0.11 [m]

Call moi_hollowcircle(d, d_i: A,  I,  Z, J,  rho)

 

{Solution:

A=0.001806 [m^2]

I=0.000002992 [m^4]

J=0.000005984 [m^4]

rho=0.0407 [m]

Z=0.00004986 [m^3]

}
