MITCalc - Plates

MITCalc - Plates is a super handy tool that helps with construction and engineering tasks. It uses computer calculations to make sure everything is accurate. This software can really help cut down on mistakes and boost productivity in all kinds of projects. So, if you’re looking for a reliable way to perform deflection calculations, stress analysis, and force variations for flat plates, this workbook for Excel is your go-to.

Why You Need Microsoft Excel

One important thing to remember is that you’ll need Microsoft Excel to use MITCalc - Plates. It isn’t a standalone app; it’s more like an Excel workbook you open up just like any other file. When you load it up, you'll see custom content spread across various sheets including calculations, tables, options, data, and even a helpful dictionary.

Main Features of MITCalc - Plates

The main job of this workbook is to help you calculate stress levels, variations in forces, and deflection for different types of plates. You can work with circular plates, annular circular ones, or rectangular ones—all tailored sections are available for each type!

User-Friendly Sections

Each plate type has its own dedicated section where you can input your requirements. You can calculate things like deflection, slope changes, moments of stress at random points—you name it! Plus, there are graphs included that update automatically based on the values you enter.

Add More Safety with Calculations

You can also use this tool to figure out the minimum required plate thickness or the maximum load it can handle. It even considers safety coefficients as part of its calculations!
