Beam/Tube Module

Crossections include elliptical, circular, rectangular, I, C, U and T sections.
Bending deflection, moments, stresses, etc. are calculated for point, uniform distributed and triangular loadings using combinations of fixed, free and simple supports.
Torsional stresses and deflections can be determined.
Fundamental vibration frequencies of bending and twisting are determined for a variety of end conditions and end masses.
Cylindrical stability for external pressure, bending, torsion and axial compression is available as well as column stability calculations.
For closed crossections ply placement through the laminate is taken into account.
The calculations are based upon basic beam theory and NASA SP-8007 cylindrical stability formulations.
