Crack growth equations are mathematical models that describe the propagation of cracks in materials, particularly under fatigue, stress, or other loading conditions. One of the most commonly used frameworks for modeling crack growth is based on fracture mechanics principles. ### Key Concepts and Equations 1. **Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM)**: - **Stress Intensity Factor (K)**: This is a measure of the intensity of stress near the tip of a crack.
