- Status
- OK (FoS≥1.5)
How it works
Calculate axial stress and factor of safety for a loaded cross-section.
Who it's for: Mechanical engineers checking tension/compression members.
σ = F/A where F is axial force and A is cross-sectional area.
Factor of safety FoS = σ_yield / σ.
Typical design target FoS ≥ 1.5.
How to use
- Enter Force F (N), Area A (mm²), and σ_yield (MPa).
- Read σ, Factor of safety, and Status.
