spricklängd
Spricklängd (Swedish for "crack length") denotes the measured linear extent of a crack or fracture in a material or geological formation. The term is used in engineering, materials science and geology to describe the size of discontinuities that influence mechanical behavior, fluid flow and structural integrity.
In materials and structural engineering, spricklängd is a key parameter in fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis.
Measurement techniques vary by scale and application. Laboratory and field methods include optical microscopy, scanning electron
Modeling and assessment often use linear elastic fracture mechanics for brittle materials or empirical laws for
