Functions
Angle of Obliquity
The Angle of Obliquity is the angle made by resultant stress with the normal of the oblique plane.
Symbol: ϕ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Shear Stress
Shear Stress is force tending to cause deformation of a material by slippage along a plane or planes parallel to the imposed stress.
Symbol: 𝜏
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Normal Stress
Normal Stress is stress that occurs when a member is loaded by an axial force.
Symbol: σn
Measurement: StressUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
tan
The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
Syntax: tan(Angle)
atan
Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle.
Syntax: atan(Number)
