3806. SAWE Handbook Section 2.2 Solid Properties Excel Formulae

Paper

Abstract

The SAWE Handbook Section 21 has figures and formulae for many shapes, including (Section 2.1) Plane Areas, (Section 2.2) Solids, and (Section 2.3) Shells, Section 2.4) Thin Rods. This paper will concentrate on Solids, Section 2.2, and convert the formulae from this section into equivalent Excel equations that can be used to derive the mass, center(s) of gravity, and the mass moments of inertia of these solid shapes. The resulting values can then be used in determining the mass properties of these and composite entities in further calculations.
