Traction Separation Law Calculator

Traction equals fracture toughness times separation in fracture mechanics.The formula is given by:

Where:

• $T$ is the traction (stress) along the crack or interface.
• $d$ is the separation (displacement) between the crack surfaces.
• $K$ is the slope of the Traction Separation Law curve, often referred to as the “fracture toughness” or “critical energy release rate”.
