Hi there,
I currently trying to calculate the second moment of area of an L shaped cross section.
The reason for this is I have carried out a buckling experiment on a strut of this cross section and want to calculate some theoretical results to compare to my experimental results.
I need the second moment of area so I can use Euler's equation and calculate the axial load on the strut.
I have attached my workings for the second moment of area, but in all honesty I do not think my method is correct. It would be very helpful if someone wouldn't mind looking over my calculations and point out where I have gone wrong. It would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Max
