Calculation Formulas

A = π * (D^2/8) * (1 - (t/D)^2)

I = π * (D^4/64) * (1 - (3*t^2/D^2) + (2*t^3/(D^3)))

r = sqrt(I/A)

Where:
A = Area
I = Moment of Inertia
r = Radius of Gyration
D = Outer Diameter
t = Wall Thickness

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the outer diameter (D) of the half round tube in the appropriate field.
  2. Enter the wall thickness (t) of the half round tube in the appropriate field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the area, moment of inertia, and radius of gyration.
  4. The results will be displayed in the corresponding fields.

Understanding the Results

The calculator provides three key properties of the half round tube:

  • Area (A): The cross-sectional area of the tube.
  • Moment of Inertia (I): A measure of the tube's resistance to bending.
  • Radius of Gyration (r): A measure of the tube's resistance to torsion.

These properties are essential in structural engineering for designing and analyzing components that involve the half round tube shape.
