pg. 52-54
Equation:
Syp/FS =
(Smax + Smin)/2 + K * (Syp/Se) * ((Smax – Smin)/2)
Variables:
R0 = Syp =
yield point stress
R1 = Se =
endurance stress reversed bending tests
R2 = Smax =
maximum applied stress
R3 = Smin =
minimum applied stress
R4 = K =
stress concentration factor
R5 = FS =
factor of safety
Instructions:
Enter the
known values in each of the variables. 
Enter the number of the variable to be solved in register I ( [ STO ] [
TAN ] (I) ).  To solve, enter a range,
and press [ f ] [ ÷ ] (SOLVE), [ e^x ] (B). (*or whatever label you assigned
this program to)

Example:
Find the
yield point (R0) given the following:
R1 = Se =
33,000 psi
R2 = Smax =
20,000 psi
R3 = Smin =
10,000 psi
R4 = K = 1.5
R5 = FS = 2
Store 0 in
RI.
Solution:  55,000 psi
