10B. DIMENSIONING PART 2/4

CHAPTER 10B 'DIMENSIONING' 54 - finds the point (N,My,Mz) in the diagram - draws the line segment joining (0,0,0) and (N,My,Mz) (orange section) - plot the N* curve and calculate the corresponding My,max and Mz,max - calculates the flexural strengths (RMy, RMz) for the specific intensive quantities (N,My,Mz). They are the red dots on the horizontal curve. - forms the "torque-curvature diagram" The curvature moment diagram is defined for a specific angle of the neutral axis. So by defining in the field an angle with a value different from 0,90,180,270 degrees, the negative torque curve will also appear on the diagram.
