Calculation Formula

Compressive Stress (σ) = Force (P) / Area (A)

Where:
σ = Compressive Stress (Pa)
P = Force applied (N)
A = Area over which the force is applied (m²)

How to Use the Compressive Stress Calculator

  1. Enter the force (P) applied on the material in Newtons (N).
  2. Enter the area (A) over which the force is applied in square meters (m²).
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the compressive stress.
  4. The result will be displayed in Pascals (Pa).

Working Principle

Compressive stress is the force per unit area that acts to compress or shorten the material. It is calculated by dividing the force applied by the area over which the force is distributed. The formula for compressive stress is:

σ = P / A

Where:

  • σ = Compressive Stress (Pa)
  • P = Force applied (N)
  • A = Area over which the force is applied (m²)
