crack model

The crack model is a way to understand how materials break or crack. It examines how tiny flaws or cracks inside a material grow under stress, eventually causing the material to fail. By predicting how cracks develop and spread, engineers can assess the strength and durability of structures like bridges, airplanes, or pipelines. Essentially, the model helps us understand the critical points at which a material might break, allowing for better design and maintenance to prevent failure.
