How to Calculate and Solve for Range Stress | Fracture

The image above represents range stress. To calculate range stress, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Maximum Stress (σmax) and Minimum Stress (σmin).

The formula for calculating range stress:

σr = σmax – σmin

Where:

σr = Range of Stress
σmax = Maximum Stress
And then, σmin = Minimum Stress

Given an example;
Find the range of stress when the maximum stress is 12 and the minimum stress is 4.

This implies that;

σmax = Maximum Stress = 12
σmin = Minimum Stress = 4

That is, σr = σmax – σmin
σr = 12 – 4
σr = 8

Therefore, the range of stress is 8 Pa.

Calculating the Maximum Stress when the Range of Stress and the Minimum Stress are Given

σmax = σr + σmin

Where:

σmax = Maximum Stress
σr = Range of Stress
And then, σmin = Minimum Stress

Let’s solve an example;
Find the maximum stress when the range of stress is 12 and the minimum stress is 10.

This implies that;

σr = Range of Stress = 12
σmin = Minimum Stress = 10

That is, σmax = σr + σmin
σmax = 12 + 10
σmax = 22

Therefore, the maximum stress is 22.

Calculating the Minimum Stress when the Range of Stress and the Maximum Stress are Given

σmin = σmax – σr

Where:

σmin = Minimum Stress
σr = Range of Stress
And then, σmax = Maximum Stress

Let’s solve an example;
Find the minimum stress when the range of stress is 14 and the maximum stress is 24.

This implies that;

σr = Range of Stress = 14
σmax = Maximum Stress = 24

That is, σmin = σmax – σr
σmin = 24 – 14
σmin = 10

Therefore, the minimum stress is 10.
