Roark's Formulas

The Ultimate Reference

Long considered the leading authority on structural element design and analysis, Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain has been helping engineers solve design problems for more than 60 years. Universal Technical Systems, Inc. (UTS) takes it one step further with Interactive Roarks Formulasa fully interactive version of the landmark reference combined with powerful problem solving technology that dramatically reduces design hours and production costs and speeds time to market. Imagine not just words and formulas on a page, but completely automated stress analysis of a comprehensive range of structural componentsright on your desktop!

Proven and Powerful

Interactive Roarks Formulas has been thoroughly usertested and in continuous use since 1989. It includes interactive calculations for all cases and tables with accompanying diagrams that help streamline the design process and reduce design iterations as well as the need for complicated finite element analysis. In addition, International System of Units (SI) and United States Customary Units (USCU) conversion is automatic with Interactive Roarks Formulas, making model sharing easier than ever. The userfriendly menuing system lets you select a problem by chapter, table, and caseexactly as it is in the book. However, heres where the similarities end. Preformatted plots of deflection, stress, and bending moments let you refine the design like never before. Whats more, a powerful math engine with the unique ability to solve for a variety of combinations of input and output variablesknown as backsolvingallows you to easily test whatif scenarios and optimize designs without hours of tedious calculations or programming. Just point, click, and solve.

A Designers Dream
Interactive Roarks Formulas includes a number of builtin functions and ease of use features like the Superposition Data Entry Wizard that allows multiple loads to be handled easily by automatically calculating and displaying plots of stress, deflection, and shear for the combined loads every step of the way. What used to take hours now takes a matter of minutes! When first released in 1989, Roarks Formulas for Stress and Strain coauthor Warren Young called Interactive Roarks Formulas a designers dream. In reality, its an indispensable tool for any designer, engineer, or technician that works with beams, columns, plates, rings, tanks, or pressure vessels. Interactive Roarks Formulas is available in a Standard and Premium edition that includes the Solution Optimizer, and supports Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP platforms.
