Working Stress in Design of Shafts Formulas

Working Stress is the maximum stress a material can withstand without failing, used in Principal Stress Theory to analyze material behavior under various loads. And is denoted by W_s. Working Stress is usually measured using the Newton per Square Millimeter for Pressure. Note that the value of Working Stress is always negative.
