Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Choose the analysis mode that matches the physical model before entering values.
- Enter properties, geometry, loads, states and coefficients from one consistent unit and sign convention.
- Use the intermediate outputs to audit the relationship, then retain the stated idealization before applying it.
Calculation method
Transparent engineering model
K=Yσ√(πa); Paris growth uses da/dN=C(ΔK)^m; true stress is force/current area and true strain is ln(L/L₀).
The calculator evaluates only the declared relationship and preserves visitor-entered assumptions rather than selecting materials, factors, components or standards.
Worked example
Worked example
For an entered geometry factor Y, stress and crack size, the stress-intensity result exposes every operand rather than hiding a material default.
K=Yσ√(πa); Paris growth uses da/dN=C(ΔK)^m; true stress is force/current area and true strain is ln(L/L₀).
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Analysis, not approval
Fracture and test results are specimen-, geometry-, environment- and method-dependent. They do not establish fracture safety, inspection acceptance or remaining life.
Standards and properties
Material properties, allowable values, load combinations, safety factors, correlations, manufacturer data, codes and jurisdictional requirements are not supplied automatically.
Units and precision
Use one consistent unit basis. Results retain working precision but cannot be more accurate than the entered measurements and properties.
Privacy
Entered engineering values and results stay in this browser and are not sent to analytics or third parties.
