Thermal Mass Calculator

Calculate thermal mass (heat capacity) of building elements: C = ρ·c_p·V. Thermal mass delays temperature swings by time constant τ = R·C. Thermal mass effect on peak load and annual energy. Trombe wall sizing.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.
