Factor of Safety given Ultimate Stress and Working Stress Calculator

Calculate Factor of Safety





Formula

The formula to calculate the Factor of Safety (Fs) is:

\[ Fs = \frac{fs}{Ws} \]

Definition

The Factor of Safety is the ratio of ultimate state to allowable state.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Fs = \frac{40}{19} \approx 2.10526315789474 \]

The Factor of Safety is approximately 2.10526315789474.
