Calculation method

Mode I stress-intensity factor (MPa sqrt(m))

Linear-elastic mode-I K=Yσ√(πa), with crack convention absorbed into supplied Y.

Symbols and units
a
Applied tensile stress (MPa)
b
Crack length parameter (m)
c
User-supplied geometry factor

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Linear-elastic mode-I K=Yσ√(πa), with crack convention absorbed into supplied Y. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
Are these inputs private?

These calculations run in your browser. A shared link contains the values you choose to share. Only questions submitted to the separate AI finder are sent to OpenAI.
