Fracture Mechanics Testing & Analysis

Key Capabilities

• Current ASTM methods. E399-24, E647-24 and E1820-25de1, maintained as the standards are revised.
• Crack-front visualization. The crack front for each region is drawn as measurements are entered, so a mistyped measurement is caught before it invalidates a result.
• Automated report generation. Available on-screen from the analysis itself, available on-screen prior to generating the certification. Templates cover the ASTM reporting clauses, plus user-defined report templates, with a draft-versus-certified distinction and the signing analyst recorded on the report.
• Validity checks inside the workflow. ASTM validity criteria are evaluated alongside the analysis, each showing the measured value against the requirement.
• Every input value traceable to its source. Fractonix reads your IN, LOG, GN and RAW files together, shows which file each input came from, and flags disagreements between them before loading.
• One workspace. E399, E647 and E1820 in a single program: one interface to learn, improving efficiency. No spreadsheet hand-offs, macros or external software required.
• Standards-based slope determination. ASTM E3076 slope determination is integrated, so the elastic slope is chosen by the standard's algorithm, not by eye, for consistent results.
• Formal V&V methodology. Every algorithm implemented from the current ASTM method, verified against reference solutions, and fully documented. Built-in self-verification tests each software build to ensure continued conformance to the standard.
• K_Isi determination. E399 size-insensitive fracture toughness now available. Run it alongside the standard K_Q analysis, and obtain consistent toughness values across specimen sizes.
• User-defined library. Materials, operators, environments, test frames and report templates managed in one place, entered once, not re-typed per analysis.
