IBP Math tools (Release 2.6)

This program is a windows based conversion program to convert from one unit of measure to another.  The only conversion program based on the ASTM E380-93 standard practice for use of the international system of units (SI).  The program also performs engineering, physics, geometry, and electrical functions.

KeyWords: Conversions, Engineer, Math, Physics, Newton, Geometry, Trigonometry, Ohms, Electronics



The program was designed for use by transportation engineers to do simple conversions and routine functions.  The main advantage is that the functions can be done in any unit of measure.

The units that can be converted include:

Acceleration, Area, Energy, Flow, Force, Length, Light, Mass, Power, Pressure, Speed, Temperature, Torque, and Volume.

The functions that can be performed include:

Adhesion requirements based on percent powered axles and acceleration.

Curve arc and cord length to degrees of curvature.

Decibels in input and output levels for both power and current and voltage.

Lateral acceleration in curves based on curve radius, speed, and superelevation.

Newton second law (F=MA)

Ohms Law (E=IR)

Speed of a vehicle based on motor RPM, gear ratio and wheel size.

Tractive effort based on motor torque, wheel size, gear ratio, and efficiency. 

Area and Circumference of a circle.

Right angle trigonometry functions

Resonant frequency of a LC circuit

And More.
