Warping Resistance

The warping resistance Iω (also called "warping constant of 2nd degree") a quantity derived from a cross-section, as the more well-known second moment of area Iy and Iz). The warping constant is required, among other things, for the determination of stresses for the warping torsion as well as for the determination of critical buckling moments for the lateral-torsional buckling analysis.

The Dlubal programs provide the "Display Section Details" function Info that allows you to access the cross-section properties including the warping constant.
