How to Calculate Factor of Safety for Tri-axial State of Stress?
Factor of Safety for Tri-axial State of Stress calculator uses Factor of Safety = Tensile Yield Strength/sqrt(1/2*((Normal Stress 1-Normal Stress 2)^2+(Normal Stress 2-Normal Stress 3)^2+(Normal Stress 3-Normal Stress 1)^2)) to calculate the Factor of Safety, Factor of Safety for Tri-axial State of Stress formula is defined as a measure of the ability of a material to withstand external loads without failing, considering the maximum shear stress and principal stress theory in a tri-axial state of stress. Factor of Safety is denoted by fos symbol.
