Beam Load API

healthy 4,680 Subscribers

Beam statics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The simply-supported endpoint analyses a beam on two supports under a point load (anywhere along the span) or a uniformly distributed load: it returns the support reactions, the maximum shear and the maximum bending moment with its location, and — if you pass the Young's modulus E and second moment of area I — the maximum deflection. The cantilever endpoint does the same for a beam fixed at one end, returning the reaction force and fixing moment, the maximum bending moment and the free-end deflection. The section endpoint gives the cross-section properties that those deflections need: the second moment of area (moment of inertia) and the section modulus for a rectangle, a solid circle or a hollow circular pipe. Every result lists the formula used, so you can show your working. Use consistent units — in SI, load in newtons, distributed load in N/m, lengths in metres, E in pascals and I in m⁴ give moments in N·m and deflections in metres. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Linear-elastic, small-deflection theory — a learning and estimating tool, not a substitute for a qualified structural engineer on a real design. Ideal for engineering and architecture tools, education and physics apps, maker and DIY calculators, and CAD helpers. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is structural beam statics; for bolt and fastener torque use a torque API.

Hex API

The Elixir and Erlang package ecosystem — Hex (hex.pm) — as an API. Look up any Hex package for its description, licenses, latest version, GitHub / docs / changelog links, owners and download counts (all-time and recent); read a package's complete release history with publication dates; get a single release's dependency list, Elixir version constraint and build tools; and search the entire Hex registry by keyword. Covers the Elixir/Erlang (BEAM) ecosystem from Phoenix, Ecto and Plug to Jason, Absinthe and Nerves. Live from the official hex.pm API. Ideal for package dashboards, dependency and supply-chain tooling, Elixir developer portals and BEAM ecosystem analytics. Open data from Hex.

Rebar Calculator API

Reinforcement-steel (rebar) maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The area endpoint computes the cross-sectional area of a reinforcing bar, a = π/4·d², its mass per metre (a·7850/1e6, steel ρ = 7850 kg/m³), the total area and mass for a number of bars, and — given a required steel area — the number of bars needed and the area provided. The spacing endpoint lays out bars across a section: from the width, the cover, the bar diameter and either a centre-to-centre spacing or a bar count it returns the other, n = floor((width − 2·cover − d)/spacing) + 1, the total steel area and the area per metre of width. The ratio endpoint computes the reinforcement ratio ρ = As/(b·d) of a section from the steel area (or the bars) and the section width and effective depth, as a fraction and a percentage, the single number that governs whether a beam is under- or over-reinforced. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural and site-engineering tools, reinforced-concrete detailing, bar-bending schedules and steel take-off, and civil-engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rebar geometry and quantities; for concrete mix proportions use a concrete API.

Wind Load API

Structural wind-load maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The pressure endpoint computes the velocity (dynamic) pressure of wind, q = ½·ρ·v², from the wind speed and air density — the pressure the wind exerts when it is brought to rest against a surface — and also solves the wind speed back from a given pressure, reporting the speed in m/s, km/h and mph. The force endpoint computes the wind force on a surface, F = q·Cf·A, from the velocity pressure (or wind speed), the exposed area and a force coefficient (≈1.3 for a building wall, ≈1.2 for a flat plate), and — given a height — the overturning moment about the base. The beaufort endpoint converts between a wind speed and the Beaufort scale using v = 0.836·B^1.5, returning the Beaufort number, the standard description from calm to hurricane force and the corresponding pressure. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural and façade-engineering tools, signage, solar-array, scaffold and temporary-structure wind checks, sailing and meteorology apps, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is structural wind pressure and force; for wind-turbine energy output use a wind-power API.

Column Buckling API

Euler column buckling as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The critical-load endpoint computes the Euler critical (buckling) load of a slender column, Pcr = π²·E·I / (K·L)², from the Young's modulus, the second moment of area, the length and the end conditions — pinned-pinned (K=1), fixed-fixed (K=0.5), fixed-pinned (K≈0.7) or fixed-free / cantilever (K=2), or a custom effective-length factor — and, given the cross-section area, also the radius of gyration, slenderness ratio and critical buckling stress. The section endpoint returns the area, the second moment of area about both axes and the radius of gyration for a solid circle, a hollow circle or tube, or a rectangle, and highlights the weak-axis value that governs buckling. The slenderness endpoint computes the slenderness ratio λ = K·L/r and, given the modulus and yield strength, the transition slenderness λ1 = π·√(2E/σy) that separates long Euler columns from short and intermediate ones, classifies the column and returns both the Euler and the J.B. Johnson critical stresses. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for structural, mechanical and aerospace engineering tools, strut and frame design, machine-design and stability-analysis apps, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is column buckling and stability; for beam bending, shear and deflection use a beam-statics API.
