Section Modulus of Stiffener Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Section Modulus = Bending Moment of Vertical Stiffeners/Maximum Allowable Bending Stress
S = M_max/f_maximum
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Section Modulus - (Measured in Cubic Millimeter) - The Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.
Bending Moment of Vertical Stiffeners - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Bending Moment of Vertical Stiffeners is induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
Maximum Allowable Bending Stress - (Measured in Newton per Square Millimeter) - Maximum Allowable Bending Stress is the maximum stress that a material can withstand while being bent without experiencing permanent deformation or failure.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Bending Moment of Vertical Stiffeners: 600000 Newton Meter --> 600000 Newton Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Allowable Bending Stress: 137 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 137 Newton per Square Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = M_max/f_maximum --> 600000/137

Evaluating ... ...

S = 4379.56204379562
