fx = (Nx/t)+((Mx*z)/(t^(3)/12))
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Normal Stress on Thin Shells - (Measured in Pascal) - Normal Stress on Thin Shells is the stress caused on the thin shell due to the normal force (axial load) on the surface.
Unit Normal Force - (Measured in Newton) - Unit Normal Force is the force acting perpendicular to the surface in contact with each other whose magnitude is unity.
Shell Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Shell thickness is the the distance through the shell.
Unit Bending Moment - (Measured in Newton Meter) - Unit Bending Moment is the external force or moment acting on a member which allows the member to bend whose magnitude is unity.
Distance from Middle Surface - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Middle Surface is the half distance from middle surface to extreme surface, say half the thickness.

What are Thin Shells?

A thin shell is defined as a shell with a thickness which is small compared to its other dimensions and in which deformations are not large compared to thickness. Thin-shell structures are lightweight constructions using shell elements. These elements, typically curved, are assembled to make large structures. Typical applications include aircraft fuselages, boat hulls, and the roofs of large buildings.

What are the forces acting on Shells?

The internal forces and moments exist at every point on the middle surface of the shell element. They represent the resultants of different normal and shear stresses over the element thickness. The internal forces have the units of force per unit length and the internal moments have the units of moment per unit length.

How to Calculate Normal Stress in Thin Shells?

Normal Stress in Thin Shells calculator uses Normal Stress on Thin Shells = (Unit Normal Force/Shell Thickness)+((Unit Bending Moment*Distance from Middle Surface)/(Shell Thickness^(3)/12)) to calculate the Normal Stress on Thin Shells, The Normal Stress in Thin Shells formula is defined as the perpendicular stress formed on the shell surface due to the normal force acting on it and the force is assumed to be uniformly distributed along the surface of the thin shell. Normal Stress on Thin Shells is denoted by fx symbol.
