Yield Strength Calculator | Material Stress & Safety Tool

Yield strength Tool Formula:

Yield Strength (σ_y):

\[ \sigma_{y} = \frac{F}{A} \]

(where F = force at yield point, A = cross-sectional area)

The Yield Strength Calculator aids engineers, students and designs to calculate the highest stress that a material can be subjected to without permanent settlement. Yield strength is an important property in material science and structural engineering, which provides the safe design of rods, beams, shafts, etc.

The applied load, cross-sectional area, factor of safety, or material yield stress can be entered into the calculator by the user. The calculator quantifies the real stress, permissible stress, factor of safety and determines whether the material can sustain the stress or not. The step-by-step solutions also demonstrate axis stress, tensile stress, factor safety, and allowable stress formulas, which ensure that it is not complicated to design safe mechanical and structural parts.

SI units are accepted: N, kN, mm, m, MPa, Gpa. The tool suits well to mechanical engineers, civil engineers, design engineers and to students dealing with metal rods, shafts, beams and structural members, to make sure that one can accurately calculate the yield strength and the material selected to work with is safe.
