Section Modulus calculation and optimization

SECTION MODULUS:-

Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross section used in the design of beams or flexural members. Other geometric properties used in the design include area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for pressure and second moment of area, and polar second moment of area for stiffness.

FORMULA:-

Section modulus (Z) = I/Y.

We use section modulus for calculating the moment of inertia and for the good or bad strength of the parts.
