Calculate Compressive Stress



Formula

The formula to calculate the Compressive Stress (CS) is:

\[ CS = \frac{F}{A} \]

What is Compressive Stress?

Compressive stress is the stress on materials that leads to a smaller volume. It is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object.

Example Calculations

Example 1:

Using the formula:

\[ CS = \frac{1000}{0.5} = 2000 \text{ N/m²} \]

Example 2:

Using the formula:

\[ CS = \frac{500}{0.25} = 2000 \text{ N/m²} \]
