Transverse strength calculator

Transverse strength is a measurement of strength when the load is applied across the longitudinal flow of the grain of a material. Certain impurities such as sulphur have a detrimental effect on the transverse strength. This can be minimised by the inclusion modification process.

Breaking Load (P):
Average Distance (L):
Diameter (d):
Transverse Strength of a Material (MT):

 
   
  


Formula Used:

Transverse strength of a Material = ( 8 * P * L) /( 3.14 * d3 )

where,

P - Breaking load
L - Average distance
D - Diameter
