How to Calculate Minimum Principal Stress?
Minimum Principal Stress calculator uses Minimum Principal Stress = (Normal Stress along x Direction+Normal Stress along y Direction)/2-sqrt(((Normal Stress along x Direction-Normal Stress along y Direction)/2)^2+Shear Stress acting in xy Plane^2) to calculate the Minimum Principal Stress, The Minimum principal stress formula is defined as the plane carrying minimum normal stress is known as minor. principal plane and the stress acting on it is called as minor principal stress. Minimum Principal Stress is denoted by σmin symbol.
How to calculate Minimum Principal Stress using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Minimum Principal Stress, enter Normal Stress along x Direction (σx), Normal Stress along y Direction (σy) & Shear Stress acting in xy Plane (ζxy) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Minimum Principal Stress calculation can be explained with given input values -> 2.4E-5 = (80000000+40000000)/2-sqrt(((80000000-40000000)/2)^2+30000000^2).
