- Enter the length, diameter, and allowable stress.
- Click ‘Calculate’.
- View results and chart.
The formula for calculating max stress is: σ = 4P / πD2. Here’s how it works:
| Length (L) | Diameter (D) | Allowable Stress (S) | Max Stress (σ) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 2 | 100 | 127.32 |
| 10 | 3 | 80 | 83.78 |
| 8 | 2.5 | 120 | 157.08 |
| Material | Allowable Stress (S) |
|---|---|
| Steel | 250 |
| Aluminum | 120 |
| Titanium | 400 |
- Always use the correct units.
- Consider material properties.
- Account for safety factors.
