    Prism Strength
Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the flexural strength and flexure modulus of a beam with a rounded triangular cross-section, specifically triangular crayons. Participants suggest that calculating the section modulus is feasible, and inquire about the second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia. There is a concern regarding the material properties to be used for the crayons, as these will significantly impact the calculations. The need for specific material properties is emphasized to ensure accurate results. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities involved in these calculations for uniquely shaped objects.

Hello forum,

could someone share a formula to calculate the flexural strength and flexure modulus of a beam with a rounded triangular cross-section?

Namely triangular crayons, which is rounded on the edges.
Assuming that the triangle is equilateral.

Thank you, appreciate everyone's input!

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
