6 Relationship between Stress and Strain Calculators

Modulus of Elasticity given Compressive Stress
Go Modulus of Elasticity = (Compressive Stress/Compressive Strain)
Modulus of Elasticity given Normal Stress
Go Modulus of Elasticity = Normal Stress/Strain in Component
Modulus of Elasticity given Tensile Stress
Go Modulus of Elasticity = (Tensile Stress/Tensile Strain)
Factor of Safety
Go Factor of Safety = Ultimate Stress/Permissible Stress
Modulus of Rigidity given Shear Stress
Go Modulus of Rigidity = (Shear Stress/Shear Strain)
Margin of Safety
Go Margin of Safety = Factor of Safety-1

Margin of Safety Formula

Margin of Safety = Factor of Safety-1
M.O.S. = F.O.S-1

All about margin of safety

The margin of safety is the measure of excess structural capability. It is the additional load beyond the design load after which the part fails. If the margin of safety is 0, then the product will fail when it reaches its design load. If the margin of safety is 1, then the part can withstand load more than its design load. And if the margin of safety is -1, then the part will fail even before reaching its design load.

How to Calculate Margin of Safety?

Margin of Safety calculator uses Margin of Safety = Factor of Safety-1 to calculate the Margin of Safety, The Margin of safety is the measure of excess structural capability. Margin of Safety is denoted by M.O.S. symbol.

How to calculate Margin of Safety using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Margin of Safety, enter Factor of Safety (F.O.S) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Margin of Safety calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4 = 4-1.
