Formula and methodology
Formula: Average normal stress σ = axial force F ÷ cross-sectional area A. With area entered in mm², σ(MPa) = F(N) ÷ A(mm²).
The sign of the entered force is preserved so a positive or negative convention can represent tension or compression. The page reports average axial stress and does not replace a detailed stress analysis.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Axial force — N; minimum -1000000000000; maximum 1000000000000
- Loaded cross-sectional area — mm²; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Axial force | 10000 |
| Loaded cross-sectional area | 100 |
Average normal stress = 10,000 ÷ 100 = 100 MPa.
Assumptions and limits
- Force is axial and is entered in newtons.
- Area is the loaded cross-sectional area in square millimetres.
- The stress is treated as an average over the stated area.
- The member is idealized as straight and the load direction is known.
- Local stress concentrations, holes, threads, welds, bends, and contact effects are not modeled.
- Material strength, yield, fatigue, fracture, buckling, and safety factors are not inferred.
- A positive or negative sign follows the visitor's stated force convention.
- The page does not certify a structure, component, or allowable stress.
- Use a qualified design method and applicable code for real safety decisions.
