Physics Information
This simulation demonstrates the compressional strain in hollow steel columns supporting a structure.
The formula used is: Strain = (F/A) / Y
Where:
- F = Force per column (Mg/n)
- A = Cross-sectional area (π(R² - r²))
- Y = Young's modulus for steel (2 × 10¹¹ Pa)
- M = Total mass of structure
- n = Number of columns
- R = Outer radius
- r = Inner radius
