Stress Intensity Factor

The Stress Intensity Factor is a fracture mechanics parameter that quantifies the magnitude of the stress field near the tip of a crack in a linear elastic material, distinguishing it by its dependence on applied loads, crack geometry, and structural configuration to characterize the propensity for crack propagation under mode I, II, or III loading conditions.
