Yield Strength Calculator

What is Yield Strength?

Yield strength is the stress at which a material begins to deform plastically. Beyond this point, permanent deformation will occur. It's an important property in material science and engineering, determining how much load a material can withstand before it starts to deform permanently.

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the Young's Modulus (E) of the material in Pascals (Pa). This measures the stiffness of the material.
2. Enter the Poisson's Ratio (ν) of the material. This is the ratio of transverse strain to axial strain.
3. Enter the Yield Strain (ε_y) of the material, which is the strain at the yield point.
4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the yield strength.
5. The result will be displayed in Pascals (Pa). You can also reset the form to enter new values.

Principle of Calculation

This calculator uses the simplified formula: Yield Strength (σ_y) = E × ε_y, where E is Young's Modulus and ε_y is Yield Strain. This is a basic calculation that relates the stiffness of a material to its yield behavior. For more complex materials or loading conditions, additional factors may be considered.
