Deformation Calculations in Aluminum Profiles

Table Of Contents

When choosing industrial aluminum profiles, the amount of deformation is an important criterion.

Using the following formula, it is easy to calculate the deformation produced by the aluminum profile under its own weight and applied forces.

  • M – Linear Density of Aluminum Profile (kg/cm3)
  • F – Load (N)
  • L – Unsupported Length of Aluminum Profile (mm)
  • E – Elastic Modulus (70000N/mm2)
  • I – Moment of Inertia (cm4)
  • Z – Section Modulus (cm3)
  • g = 9.81N/kg
  • δ=Deformation (mm)
