🪨 Microcracks — Stress-Intensity Fracture Map (2D)

Interactive 2D crack-tip stress-field simulator. Set applied stress, initial crack length and fracture toughness Kc, watch K=Yσ√(πa) grow the crack, and toggle cyclic fatigue loading.

⚙ Under the hood

Watch a crack grow in a 2D material cross-section as you tune applied stress, initial crack length and fracture toughness. The stress-intensity factor K = Y·σ·√(πa) is computed live and shown as a heatmap around the crack tip; the crack propagates once K reaches the critical toughness Kc, with an optional cyclic fatigue mode using the Paris law.
