Calculations for Shear Stress in Yield Test
The following equations can be used to calculate the shear stress values after each packet of data is obtained from
the DVNext.
Where:
τ = Yield Stress (Pascals)
TK = Model Torque Constant from Table D-2
YMC = Yield Multiplier Constant from Table D-3
T = % Torque reading
The following equations can be used to calculate the strain data after each packet of data is obtained from the
