RC Time Constant Calculator

Calculate RC time constant τ = R·C. Capacitor charges to 63.2% in 1τ, 98.2% in 4τ. Discharge follows V(t) = V₀·e^(-t/τ). RC filter cutoff frequency f_c = 1/(2πRC). Pulse timing and filter applications.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.
