Coefficient Of Lift For Max Glide Endurance Calculator

Ravula Nikhil Reddy — Tue, 26 Mar 2024 04:15:30 +0000

The Coefficient of Lift for Max Glide Endurance is a parameter that signifies the lift efficiency required for achieving the longest possible duration of unpowered flight. It represents the ratio of the lift force generated by the aircraft’s wings to the dynamic pressure of the surrounding air and the wing’s area. In the context of maximizing glide endurance, this coefficient indicates the optimal lift-to-drag ratio attained by adjusting the aircraft’s angle of attack. By operating at the angle of attack corresponding to the maximum lift coefficient, aircraft can sustain flight for extended periods without engine power, crucial for applications like gliders or endurance UAVs. The formula to calculate Coefficient of lift for Max Glide Endurance as follows:

Where:

C_L is the Coefficient of Lift,
C_D0 is the Zero Lift Drag Coefficient,
K is the Constant, (K=1/(pi*e*AR)).

Axial deformation is calculated using Hooke’s Law, which relates stress ( $σ$ ) to strain ( $ε$ ) for elastic deformation. The formula for axial deformation is given by:

where:

$δ_{axial}$ = Axial deformation (in meters, m)
$F$ = Applied axial force or load (in newtons, N)
$L$ = Original length of the structural member (in meters, m)
$A$ = Cross-sectional area of the structural member (in square meters, m²)
$E$ = Modulus of elasticity or Young’s modulus of the material (in pascals, Pa or N/m²)

Cross Sectional Area Calculator

Joni Pershiyal — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 22:07:16 +0000

The cross-sectional area ( $A$ ) represents the area enclosed by the shape of the structural member, typically perpendicular to the axis of bending or rotation. The SI units for the radius of gyration formula are meters (m) for length measurements (both $r$ and any dimensions involved in calculating $I$ and $A$ ). It’s essential to ensure that all units are consistent when using this formula to calculate the radius of gyration.

where:

$I$ is in meters to the fourth power (m⁴)

$A$ is in square meters (m²)

Radius of Gyration Calculator

Joni Pershiyal — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 21:55:41 +0000

The radius of gyration ( $r$ ) is a measure of how the mass or area of a structural member is distributed relative to its centroid or axis of rotation. It is commonly used in structural engineering to characterize the bending behavior of columns and beams

For structural purposes, the radius of gyration is calculated based on the moment of inertia ( $I$ ) and the cross-sectional area ( $A$ ) of the structural member.

where:

$r$ = Radius of gyration (in meters, m)
$I$ = Moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area (in meters to the fourth power, m⁴)
$A$ = Cross-sectional area of the structural member (in square meters, m²)

The slenderness ratio ( $λ$ ) is a dimensionless parameter used in structural engineering to evaluate the stability of slender columns under compressive loads. It is calculated based on the column’s effective length ( $L_{e}$ ) and its radius of gyration ( $r$ ).

where:

$λ$ = Slenderness ratio (dimensionless)
$L_{e}$ = Effective length of the column (in meters, m)
$r$ = Radius of gyration of the column cross-section (in meters, m)

Thermal strain Calculator

Thermal strain refers to the deformation or change in dimensions of a material due to a change in temperature. It is calculated based on the material’s coefficient of thermal expansion ( $α$ ) and the change in temperature ( $Δ T$ ).

Thermal strain is calculated using the formula:

where:

$ε_{thermal}$ = Thermal strain (dimensionless)
$α$ = Coefficient of thermal expansion of the material (in per kelvin, K⁻¹)
$Δ T$ = Change in temperature (in kelvin, K)

Thermal stress Calculator

Joni Pershiyal — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 20:48:30 +0000

Thermal stress refers to the stress that develops in a material due to a change in temperature. When a material is subjected to non-uniform temperature changes, different parts of the material expand or contract at different rates, leading to internal stresses.

Thermal stress is calculated using the formula:

where:

$σ_{thermal}$ = Thermal stress (in pascals, Pa or N/m²)
$α$ = Coefficient of thermal expansion of the material (in per kelvin, K⁻¹)
$E$ = Young’s Modulus of the material (in pascals, Pa or N/m²)
$Δ T$ = Change in temperature (in kelvin, K)

Percent Reduction in Area Calculator

Joni Pershiyal — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 20:36:56 +0000

The percent reduction in area measures the decrease in cross-sectional area of a tensile specimen at the point of fracture compared to its original cross-sectional area.

It is calculated using the formula:

where:

$A_{i}$ is the initial cross-sectional area of the specimen (in square meters, m²).
$A_{f}$ is the final cross-sectional area of the specimen at fracture (in square meters, m²).

Both the percent elongation and percent reduction in area are dimensionless quantities expressed as percentages (%), providing a measure of the ductility of a material. Higher percentages indicate greater ductility, while lower percentages suggest lower ductility

Flexural strength, also known as bending strength, is a measure of a material’s ability to resist deformation under bending loads. It is an important property in structural engineering, particularly for beams and other components subjected to bending stresses.

Flexural strength is calculated using the formula:
