Interactive calculator for Griffith Crack Theory, Irwin Stress Intensity, Paris-Erdogan Law, Von Mises & Tresca criteria. Built for engineers, researchers, and students โ with real Python backend and beautiful visualizations.
Six powerful engineering models for predicting material failure โ from brittle fracture to fatigue crack growth. Each theorem includes interactive calculations and real-world applications.
Predicts crack propagation in brittle materials when released potential energy exceeds surface energy. Critical for glass, ceramics, and concrete failure analysis.
Quantifies stress field near crack tip using stress intensity factor K. Essential for bridge ties, aircraft structures, and pressure vessel integrity assessment.
Predicts fatigue crack growth rate under cyclic loading. Fundamental for aircraft maintenance schedules, rotating machinery, and component lifespan estimation.
Predicts yielding in ductile materials based on distortion energy. Widely used in ASME pressure vessel codes and finite element analysis (FEA).
Maximum shear stress theory for ductile failure. More conservative than Von Mises, preferred for safety-critical shaft, bolt, and pin designs.
Analyzes stress in thin-walled pressure vessels (t/r < 0.1). Essential for pipeline, storage tank, boiler, and compressed gas cylinder design per ASME BPVC.
Adjust parameters in real-time and visualize stress fields, crack propagation, and failure thresholds. Powered by Python backend with instant calculations.
Full backend implementation in Python โ clean, documented, and ready to integrate. Includes all six theorems, unit handling, visualization utilities, and export capabilities.
Complete Python package with all 6 theorems, documentation, examples, and visualization tools. Ready to run locally or integrate into your workflow.
