Physical Property AnalysisThe size, volume, surface area, and other properties associated with a solid model are often part of the design constraints or solution criteria.The following are physical properties presented in typical solid modeling programs:Volume Density MassSurface Area Center of Gravity Moment of InertiaProduct of Inertia Radii of Gyration Principal AxesPrincipal Moments Length
Physical Properties
• Volume• Surface Area • Density• Mass
In this lesson you will investigate the following physical properties:
Volume
• Volume is the amount of three-dimensional space occupied by an object or enclosed within a container
• Design engineers use volume to determine the amount of material needed to produce a part
• Different formulas for different shapes
V = H x W x LV = 4” x 4” x 8”V = 128 in.3

Rectangular Prism
Volume in Cubic Units
It is imperative to keep your units the same when measuring and calculating volume.
• Cubic inches (in.3)• Cubic feet (ft3)• Cubic yards (yds3)• Cubic centimeters
(cm3)• Cubic meters (m3)
Measure volume using cubic units:
Volume Formulas for Prisms, Cylinders, Pyramids, or Cones
If B is the area of the base of a prism, cylinder, pyramid, or cone and H is the height of the solid, then the formula for the volume is
V = BHNote: You will need to calculate the area of the shape for the base of the prism. For example: If the solid is a triangular prism, then you will need to calculate the area of the triangle for the base and then calculate the volume.
Area Formulas for Bases of Prisms, Cylinders, and Pyramids
Rectangular Prism – base is rectangle, therefore A = length * width or A = lw
Cylinder – base is a circle, therefore A = pi * radius of circle squared or A = πr2
Square Pyramid – base is a square, therefore A = length * width or A = lw or side squared since the sides are the same on a square or A = s2
Volume of a ConeA Special Case
• A cone is 1/3 of a cylinder• The base of a cylinder is a circle• The area of a circle is A=πr2
• Therefore, the formula for the volume of a cone is
V= 1/3Ahwhere A=πr2
and h is the height of the cone
Density• Density is defined as mass per unit
volume.• Density is different for every material and
can be found in a machinist handbook.
Mass
• Mass is the amount of matter in an object or the quantity of the inertia of the object.
• Many materials are purchased by weight; to find weight, you need to know the mass.
Mass = Volume x Density
Using the volume from the previous example:V = 128 in.3
Mass = 128 in.3 x .035 lb/in.3
Mass = 4.48 lb
Polypropylene has a density of .035 lb/in.3 and
Surface Area
• Surface area is the squared dimensions of the exterior surface.
• Surface area is important when determining coatings and heat transfer of a part.

A= 4in. x 4in. = 16 in.2
B= 4in. x 8in. = 32 in.2
C= 4in. x 8in. = 32 in.2
D= 4in. x 8in. = 32 in.2
E= 4in. x 8in. = 32 in.2
F= 4in. x 4in. = 16 in.2
A + B+ C + D+ E + F = 160 in.2

Mass Property values will be used for predicting material quantity needed for production, finishing, packaging, and shipping.
Center of Gravity
• A 3D point where the total weight of the body may be considered to be concentrated.
• The average location of an object.• If an object rotates when thrown it rotates
about its center of gravity.• An object can be balance on a sharp point
placed directly beneath its center of gravity
Centroid• A 3D point defining the
geometric center of a solid.• Do not confuse centroid with the center of
gravity.– The two only exist at the same 3D point when
the part has uniform geometry and density.
Principal Axes
• The lines of intersection created from three mutually perpendicular planes, with the three planes’ point of intersection at the centroid of the part.
The X, Y, and Z axes show the principal axes of the ellipsoid.
