Yield Strength Calculator

  • by

The Yield Strength Calculator assists in calculating yield strength based on different input variables, such as safety factor, design stress, pressure unit, and cross-sectional area.

This tool is highly useful in engineering and materials science fields, where determining the yield strength of materials ensures safety and performance in structural designs.

Yield Strength Calculator

Enter any 2 values to calculate

Safety Factor:

Enter the safety factor value to ensure the material can withstand greater stress.

Design Stress (Pa):

Input the design stress in Pascals to determine the material’s required strength.

Pressure Unit:

Select the unit of pressure to use for calculation purposes.

Yield Strength (Pa):

Provide the yield strength in Pascals to calculate the other parameters.

Result:

The calculated result will be displayed here based on the input values.

  1. Basic Calculator:

    • Safety Factor: Enter the safety factor, which is a measure of the reliability of a structure.
    • Design Stress (Pa): Specify the applied stress in Pascals for the material in question.
    • Pressure Unit: Select the unit for pressure from options like Pascal (Pa), Atmosphere (ATM), PSI, etc., to align with your measurements.
    • Yield Strength (Pa): The calculated or known yield strength is provided in Pascals for consistency.
  2. Advanced Calculator:

    • Total Design Load (N): Input the total applied force in Newtons.
    • Cross-sectional Area (m²): Provide the area over which the load is applied, in square meters.
    • Advanced Yield Strength: This field will calculate the yield strength based on the load and cross-sectional area inputs.

How to Use:

  • Choose either the Basic or Advanced Calculator.
  • Enter the known values, leaving the field you wish to calculate empty.
  • Click Calculate to obtain the result, or Reset to clear all fields for a new calculation.

How To Calculate

Example 1:

Input Value
Safety Factor 1.5
Design Stress (Pa) 200000
Pressure Unit Pascal (Pa)
Yield Strength (Pa) 300000

In this example, with a safety factor of 1.5, design stress of 200,000 Pa, and Pascal as the pressure unit, the yield strength is calculated as 300,000 Pa.

Example 2:

Input Value
Total Design Load (N) 5000
Cross-sectional Area (m²) 0.05
Advanced Yield Strength (Pa) 100000

For an applied load of 5000 N and a cross-sectional area of 0.05 m², the yield strength is 100,000 Pa.

The Yield Strength Calculator simplifies complex calculations, allowing for quick assessments of material strength based on specific safety and design factors.
