Section Modulus calculation and optimization

SECTION MODULUS AND OPTIMIZATION

We will use here the design of the previous hood here. by using the hood design we will calculate the section modulus and try to optimize it.

The ratio of total moment resist by the section to the stress in the extreme fiber
it gives us an idea about how much load the given structure can take
if the section modulus increases the moment of resistance increases and hence its load-bearing capacity.

SECTION MODULUS

S = Section Modulus

I = Moment of Inertia

y = distance between the neutral axis and the extreme end of the object

FORMULA FOR IT

S = I/y

Case 1

Here

Moment of inertia is =1.395524898e+06(mm'4)

and the value of y will be 438.01

S =13955.24/438.01

S=31.86mm'3

Case 2

Moment of inertia is=14846.37

and the value of y will be 438.01

S=14846.37/438.01

S=33.89mm'3

In the second case, we have optimized the value of the section modulus. the strength of it also increases.

I removed the perpendicular length and directly joined the line here earlier the perpendicular length was 1.9mm.
