How to Calculate Relative Material Cost Ratio?
Relative Material Cost Ratio calculator uses Relative Cost = (Yield Stress 1/Yield Stress 2)*(Material Cost p2/Material Cost p1) to calculate the Relative Cost, The Relative Material Cost Ratio formula is defined as the relative material cost when members are designed to carry the same load at a stress that is a fixed percentage of the yield point, then cross-sectional areas are inversely proportional to the yield stresses. Relative Cost is denoted by C2/C1 symbol.
How to calculate Relative Material Cost Ratio using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Relative Material Cost Ratio, enter Yield Stress 1 (Fy1), Yield Stress 2 (Fy2), Material Cost p2 (P2) & Material Cost p1 (P1) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Relative Material Cost Ratio calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.8 = (104/125)*(25/26).
