Flat Width Ratio of Stiffened Element using Moment of Inertia Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flat Width Ratio = sqrt((Minimum Area Moment of Inertia/(1.83*Thickness of Steel Compression Element^4))^2+144)
w_t = sqrt((I_min/(1.83*t^4))^2+144)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Flat Width Ratio - Flat Width Ratio is the ratio of width w of a single flat element to the thickness t of the element.
Minimum Area Moment of Inertia - (Measured in Meter⁴) - The Minimum Area Moment of Inertia is the limiting moment of inertia ( quantitative measure of the rotational inertia) for satisfying any structural situation.
Thickness of Steel Compression Element - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness of Steel Compression Element is the thickness of element or plate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Minimum Area Moment of Inertia: 7400000 Millimeter⁴ --> 7.4E-06 Meter⁴ (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Steel Compression Element: 30 Millimeter --> 0.03 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

w_t = sqrt((I_min/(1.83*t^4))^2+144) --> sqrt((7.4E-06/(1.83*0.03^4))^2+144)

Evaluating ... ...

w_t = 12.9970180446904

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.9970180446904 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.9970180446904 ≈ 12.99702 <-- Flat Width Ratio
