Free Calculators for Engineers

07/17/2007 9:17 AM

In a perfect world, what are some free calculators that a good web site should provide for engineers? Examples could include tools like a Gear Pump Calculator, a Bolt Torque Calculator, and an Impedance Calculator.

Note: The calculators I envision wouldn't be downloads. They would "live" on the pages of a web site and be so useful that engineers would bookmark them.

I would like to see one that would calculate a shock force or shock load. If I had a vehicle that is traveling 15 mph and weighs 2200 lbs, what is the shock force on the axle?

Sounds good. I would give an example, but I never know what I need until I need it!

There would be several examples, and not only to solve technical issues, but economical calculations which allows to compare and evaluate different scenarios of a project.
