C'est une valeur pondérée de la contrainte théorique d'Euler

I've got 'It is a value factored by Euler’s theoretical stress.'

The sentence is referring to Euler's Critical Stress, as defined by AISC.

The question is

Explanation:
how should your "de" be translated?

C'est une valeur pondérée de la contrainte théorique d'Euler:
- It is a value weighted BY Euler crippling/buckling/critical stress
- It is a weighted value OF Euler crippling/buckling/critical stress

Without context, I'd see "of" as more logical: the critical stress is the critical stress, but it can be weighted (positively or negatively) by some contributing parameter.

i.e. "it is a weighted Euler critical stress value" ???
