How to Calculate and Solve for True Stress | Mechanical Properties
Last Updated on January 9, 2023
The image above represents true stress.
To compute for true stress, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters areĀ Force (F)Ā andĀ Instantaneous Area (Ai).
The formula for calculating true stress:
ĻTĀ =Ā F/Ai
Where;
ĻTĀ = True Stress
F = Force
AiĀ = Instantaneous Area
Given an example;
Find the true stress when the force is 12 and the instantaneous area is 4.
This implies that;
F = Force = 12
Ai = Instantaneous Area = 4
ĻTĀ =Ā F/Ai
ĻTĀ =Ā 12/4
ĻT = 3
Therefore, theĀ true stressĀ isĀ 3 Pa.
Calculating the Force when the True Stress and the Instantaneous Area is Given.
F = ĻT x Ai
Where;
F = Force
ĻTĀ = True Stress
AiĀ = Instantaneous Area
Let’s solve an example;
Find the force when the true stress is 10 and the instantaneous area is 8.
This implies that;
ĻT = True Stress = 10
Ai = Instantaneous Area = 8
F = ĻT x Ai
F = 10 x 8
F = 80
Therefore, theĀ forceĀ is 80.
Calculating the Instantaneous Area when the True Stress and Force is Given.
Ai = F / ĻT
Where;
AiĀ = Instantaneous Area
ĻTĀ = True Stress
F = Force
Let’s solve an example;
Find the instantaneous area when the true stress is 5 and the force is 20.
This implies that;
ĻT = True Stress = 5
F = Force = 20
Ai = F / ĻT
Ai = 20 / 5
Ai = 4
Therefore, theĀ instantaneous areaĀ isĀ 4.
