Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Choose the analysis mode that matches the physical model before entering values.
- Enter properties, geometry, loads, states and coefficients from one consistent unit and sign convention.
- Use the intermediate outputs to audit the relationship, then retain the stated idealization before applying it.
Calculation method
Transparent engineering model
3D von Mises uses the normal-stress differences and three shear components; Tresca uses the maximum principal-stress separation.
The calculator evaluates only the declared relationship and preserves visitor-entered assumptions rather than selecting materials, factors, components or standards.
Worked example
Worked example
A 3D state with σx=100, σy=20, σz=0 and τxy=30 has a von Mises result that can be audited from every entered component.
3D von Mises uses the normal-stress differences and three shear components; Tresca uses the maximum principal-stress separation.
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Analysis, not approval
Stress measures are mathematical outputs. Entered strengths, limits, material state, temperature, defects and standards remain outside the calculator.
Standards and properties
Material properties, allowable values, load combinations, safety factors, correlations, manufacturer data, codes and jurisdictional requirements are not supplied automatically.
Units and precision
Use one consistent unit basis. Results retain working precision but cannot be more accurate than the entered measurements and properties.
