The purpose of this app is to simplify calculations for pneumatic cylinders. By entering the cylinder dimensions (bore, rod and stroke) , cycle frequency, and air pressure the app will calculate the following: -Rod and bore side areas and volumes -Extension / Retraction forces -Rod and bore air flow rates Calculations can be done in metric or imperial units.
Rectangular Beam
This app assists in the design and analysis of reinforced concrete rectangular beams. It calculates required reinforcement, draws beam sections with rebar details, and provides strain distribution diagrams. Users can also determine crack width and deflection, and generate PDF reports.
- Reinforcement calculation
- Beam section drawing
- Layer requirement check
- Strain distribution diagram
- Crack width calculation
- Deflection calculation
- PDF report generation
