Constants Used
pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Fracture Toughness - (Measured in Pascal sqrt(meter)) - Fracture Toughness is the critical stress intensity factor of a sharp crack where propagation of the crack suddenly becomes rapid and unlimited.
Dimensionless Parameter in Fracture Toughness - Dimensionless parameter in fracture toughness expression depends on both crack and specimen sizes and geometries, as well as the manner of load application.
Applied stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Applied stress is denoted by the symbol σ.

Failure Testing in Materials Calculators

Critical stress for crack propagation
​ Go Critical stress = sqrt(2*Young's Modulus*Specific surface energy/(pi*Crack Length))
Percent cold work
​ Go Percent cold work = 100*(Cross-sectional Area-Area after deformation)/Cross-sectional Area
Percent reduction in area
​ Go Percent reduction in area = (Cross-sectional Area-Fracture area)*100/Cross-sectional Area
Percent elongation
​ Go Percent elongation = (Fracture Length-Original Length)*100/Original Length

Fracture toughness Formula

Fracture Toughness = Dimensionless Parameter in Fracture Toughness*Applied stress*sqrt(pi*Crack Length)
KI = Y*σ*sqrt(pi*a)

Fracture toughness for brittle and ductile materials

Brittle materials, for which appreciable plastic deformation is not possible in front of an advancing crack, have low values and are vulnerable to catastrophic failure. On the other hand, values are relatively large for ductile materials and can undergo deformation before failure.

How to Calculate Fracture toughness?

Fracture toughness calculator uses Fracture Toughness = Dimensionless Parameter in Fracture Toughness*Applied stress*sqrt(pi*Crack Length) to calculate the Fracture Toughness, Fracture toughness is a property that is a measure of a material’s resistance to brittle fracture when a crack is present. Fracture Toughness is denoted by KI symbol.
