    Red Cells Contain Parameters That You Can Change To Test Different Configurations

    Uploaded by

    Sharon Lambert
    This document provides information for testing different beam configurations to support a load. Red cells contain parameters that can be changed, while blue cells contain calculations that should not be altered. It describes how to enter material properties, beam dimensions, and loading to calculate the beam's mass for different material scenarios and check if it will break under the load. Links are provided to find material properties and calculate moment of inertia for other cross sections or materials.

    Red cells contain parameters that you can change to test different configurations

    Blue cells contain calculations that should not be altered unless you wish to improve/expand the file's functionality
    the red or outer portion of the beam is made from material 1
    the blue or inner portion of the beam is made from material 2
    to use the sheet enter the material properties, the beam length, the loading point, the load to be supported and
    the maximum acceptable beam deflection and then adjust the beam geometry until the difference between the
    actual moment of inertia and the required moment of inertia has a positive value

    the worksheet then calculates the mass of the beam for three different scenarios: 1 a beam built of only material 1; 2 a
    beam built of only material 2; and 3 a composite beam with material 2 in the center and material 1 on the outside
    if you want to make a simpler rectangular beam just set the outer dimensions to zero and use only material 2
    properties
    if you want to use a different cross section you can calculate the proper moment of inertia using the java script at
    http://www.aoe.vt.edu/~yongkm/java/Section/
    if you want to use a different material you can look up it's properties at http://www.matweb.com/ and enter them into
    the appropriate cells

    Material Properties
    To find the mechanical properties of any other material you may be using go to
    http://www.matweb.com/ Where you can find the Modulus of elasticity, density and other
    characteristics of almost any material.
