Module 3.0

Materials

This module is focused on how material selection changes stiffness, buckling response, and practical design assumptions across steel, timber, aluminum, and other structural systems.

Material Reference

Reference values for steel, aluminum, timber, and common stiffness inputs.

Beam Solver

Beam deflection, reactions, shear, and moment for standard support cases.

L

Column Buckling

Euler and Rankine checks for slenderness, effective length, and stability.

Section Properties

Area, inertia, section modulus, and comparison for common section shapes.

Module Scope
  • Use this section when the engineering question starts from the material itself rather than from a finished support or load case.
  • It is a strong place to compare elastic modulus, density, strength class, and the effect of material choice on member response.
  • Material checks usually need to be read together with section geometry, so this module is intentionally linked closely to section properties and beam analysis.
