Materials Science Tensile Strength Calculator
Calculate Stress, Strain, and Tensile Strength from material test data.
Results will appear here after you enter data and click "Calculate".
Formula Definitions
- Stress (σ)
- The force applied per unit area. It measures the internal forces that particles of a material exert on each other.
Formula: σ = Force / Area - Strain (ε)
- The measure of the deformation of the material. It is the change in length divided by the original length.
Formula: ε = (Final Length - Initial Length) / Initial Length - Tensile Strength
- The maximum stress that a material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking. In this calculator, it's assumed the force entered is the maximum force at fracture.
