Section Modulus calculation and optimization

SECTION MODULUS

  • Ratio of total moment resisted by the section to the stress in the extreme fibre
  • It given us an idea about how much of bad the given syructure can take
  • If the section modulus increases the moments of resistance increases and hence its load bearing capacity
  • Section modulus depends only on the corrs section shape ofthe structure
  • For symmetric section the value of section modulus is for both above and below of centroid of the fiber

ELASTIC SECTION MODULI

  • The elastic section is defined as the ratio of the section and the distance from the neutral axis any give extreme fiber
  • It can also be defined in trems of the first moment of area
  • It is also often used to determine the extreme fiber elastic stresses as well as the yield moment of elastic section

SECTION

S=I/Y

Where

S-section modulus

I-moment of inertia value from the inertia analysis

Y-distance from neutral axis to outermost fiber in this case we will take it from the center to the outer edge of hemmed outer panel

Moment of inertia (max)=7.654571028

Moment of inertia (min)=2.343887774

y=242.88

s=2.343887774/242.88

S=9.65039
