Relative Material Cost Ratio evaluator uses Relative Cost = (Yield Stress 1/Yield Stress 2)*(Material Cost p2/Material Cost p1) to evaluate the Relative Cost, The Relative Material Cost Ratio formula is defined as the relative material cost when members are designed to carry the same load at a stress that is a fixed percentage of the yield point, then cross-sectional areas are inversely proportional to the yield stresses. Relative Cost is denoted by C2/C1 symbol.
