Difference between Wpl,full and Wpl,max

Why are a fully plastic section modulus Zfull and a maximum plastic section modulus Zmax displayed for some cross-sections?


Answer:

The fully plastic section modulus Zpl,full is related to the fully plastic bending moment Mpl,full. For Mpl,full, only one internal force is available in the respective direction. It is not possible to increase this internal force, even if the cross-section is not perfectly plastic.

Das maximale plastische Biegemoment Mpl,max, mit dem das maximale plastische Widerstandsmoment Wpl,max zusammenhängt, bezieht sich hingegen auf den Zustand, in dem der Querschnitt vollständig plastifiziert ist. In this case, the interaction of the internal forces in the y- and z-directions is possible.
