  2. Hollow structural section - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow_structural_section

    A hot-rolled HSS-box section cut open with a bandsaw, demonstrating residual stress. A hollow structural section (HSS) is a type of metal profile with a hollow cross section. The term is used predominantly in the United States, or other countries which follow US construction or engineering terminology.

  3. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    In solid mechanics and structural engineering, section modulus is a geometric property of a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members. Other geometric properties used in design include: area for tension and shear, radius of gyration for compression, and second moment of area and polar second moment of area for stiffness .

    Structural channel, or {C-beam, or 'C' cross-section; Tee (T-shaped cross-section) Rail profile (asymmetrical Ɪ-beam) Railway rail; Vignoles rail; Flanged R rail; Grooved rail; Bar, a long piece with a rectangular cross section, but not so wide so as to be called a sheet. Rod, a round or square section long compared to its width; see also ...

  5. Sectional density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sectional_density

    Sectional density (often abbreviated SD) is the ratio of an object's mass to its cross sectional area with respect to a given axis. It conveys how well an object's mass is distributed (by its shape) to overcome resistance along that axis.

  6. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    The use of closed sections such as square hollow section will mitigate the effects of lateral-torsional buckling by virtue of their high torsional stiffness. C b is a modification factor used in the equation for nominal flexural strength when determining lateral-torsional buckling. The reason for this factor is to allow for non-uniform moment ...

  7. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    In the United States, steel I-beams are commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam. For example, a "W10x22" beam is approximately 10 in (254 mm) in depth with a nominal height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the other flange, and weighs 22 lb/ft (33 kg/m).

  9. Specific strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_strength

    It is also known as the strength-to-weight ratio or strength/weight ratio or strength-to-mass ratio. In fiber or textile applications, tenacity is the usual measure of specific strength. The SI unit for specific strength is Pa ⋅ m 3 / kg , or N ⋅m/kg, which is dimensionally equivalent to m 2 /s 2 , though the latter form is rarely used.
