How to Calculate and Solve for Engineering Stress | Mechanical Properties
Last Updated on December 20, 2022
The image above represents engineering stress.
To compute for engineering stress, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters areĀ Force (F)Ā andĀ Area (A).
The formula for calculating engineering stress:
Stress = F/A
Where:
F = Force
A = Area
Given an example;
Find the engineering stress when the force is 12 and the area is 4.
This implies that;
F = Force = 12
A = Area = 4
Stress = F/A
Stress = 12 / 4
Stress = 3
Therefore, theĀ engineering stressĀ isĀ 3 Nm-2.
Calculating the Force when the Engineering Stress and the Area is Given.
F = Stress x A
Where:
F = Force
Stress = Engineering Stress
A = Area
Let’s solve an example;
Find the force when the engineering stress is 10 and the area is 2.
This implies that;
Stress = Engineering Stress = 10
A = Area = 2
F = Stress x A
F = 10 x 2
F = 20
Therefore, theĀ forceĀ isĀ 20 N.
Calculating the Area when the Engineering Stress and the Force is Given.
A = F / Stress
Where:
A = Area
Stress = Engineering Stress
F = Force
Let’s solve an example;
Find the area when the engineering stress is 8 and the force is 24.
This implies that;
Stress = Engineering Stress = 8
F = Force = 24
A = F / Stress
A = 24 / 8
A = 3
Therefore, theĀ areaĀ isĀ 3m2.
