HS-4415: Optimization Study of a Landing Beam Using Excel
Learn how to perform an optimization study in which the input variables are entered and the output responses are calculated in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The objective is to find the cross-sectional dimensions of a tapering I- beam at its three sections that minimize the total cross-sectional area while meeting the margin of safety requirements for buckling, crippling, and combined bending and shear under ten loadcases.
The spreadsheet used here contains a page with the initial design and separate pages for crippling, buckling, and combined bending and shear calculations.
