Beam Width for Uniform Strength in Bending Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Width of Beam = 3*Load on Beam*Length of Beam/(2*Allowable Bending Stress*Depth of Beam^2)
b_Beam = 3*w*L/(2*f*d_Beam^2)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Width of Beam - (Measured in Millimeter) - Width of Beam is the horizontal dimension between its opposite surfaces or edges, perpendicular to its depth and length.
Load on Beam - (Measured in Newton) - Load on Beam is the external force or weight applied to the beam, potentially causing deformation or stress.
Length of Beam - (Measured in Millimeter) - Length of Beam is the dimension that measures the span or extent along the longitudinal axis, from one end to another.
Allowable Bending Stress - (Measured in Megapascal) - Allowable Bending Stress is the maximum stress a material can endure without exceeding its elastic limit under bending deformation.
Depth of Beam - (Measured in Millimeter) - Depth of Beam is the vertical measurement between its upper and lower surfaces, perpendicular to its length and width.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
