MITCalc Slender strut buckling

This software program is an excellent tool for calculating the optimum cross-section and performing strength checks on slender struts that are strained for buckling. The program comes complete with a range of features that allow users to perform various calculations and obtain accurate results. These features include selecting six basic types of buckling, calculating the area characteristics of 20 types of cross-sections, designing an optimum profile accommodating the set load, and performing a strength check of the strut.

Additionally, the program allows users to calculate and graphically represent permitted stress dependent on the slenderness rate, providing a comprehensive view of the forces at work. The software also comes equipped with a table of materials and a table of area characteristics of W, S, C, and L profiles according to ANSI/AISC and I, U, L, and T profiles according to DIN/ISO.

The calculation process is based on data, procedures, algorithms (Johnson, Tetmajer, Euler, Secant), and data from specialized literature and AISC, ISO, DIN, and BS standards. A list of standards such as DIN 1025, 1026, 1028, 1029, 1024, AISC W, S, C, L, LU, etc. is also included in the program.

This module is part of the MITCalc - Mechanical and Technical Calculation Package for gear, belt and chain drives, springs, beam, shaft, bolt connection, shaft connections, tolerances, and many other applications. Overall, this software program is highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient way to calculate and analyze the strength of slender struts for buckling.
