Slenderness Ratio Calculator

This calculation tool is designed to help you quickly and accurately determine the slenderness ratio of a 1D element.

Calculation

Inputs



Effective length
:20m​



Radius of Gyration
:10m​


Output



Slenderness Ratio
:2​



Explanation

The slenderness ratio or slenderness is the ratio of effective length to the least radius of gyration and it is calculated using the formula

λ=Leffrminλ = \LARGE\frac{L_{eff}}{rmin}
where;


= Slenderness ratio


= Effective length


= Radius of gyration
