Tensile Strength Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Tensile Strength (TS) is:

$\text{TS} = \frac{\text{UF}}{\text{A}}$

Where:

$\text{TS}$ is the Tensile Strength (N/m² or Pa)
$\text{UF}$ is the Ultimate Force (Newtons)
$\text{A}$ is the Cross-Sectional Area (square meters)

Tensile Strength Definition

Tensile strength is the maximum amount of tensile stress an object can withstand without experiencing permanent deformation.

Example Calculation

Let's consider an example:

Ultimate Force (UF): 5000 N
Cross-Sectional Area (A): 0.002 m²

Using the formula to calculate the Tensile Strength:

$\text{TS} = \frac{5000}{0.002} = 2,500,000 \, \text{N/m² (Pa)}$

This demonstrates that with an ultimate force of 5000 N and a cross-sectional area of 0.002 m², the tensile strength would be 2,500,000 N/m² (or 2.5 MPa).
