Fracture Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fracture Rate (FRR) is:

\[ FRR = \frac{FRA}{L} \]

Where:

\( FRR \) is the Fracture Rate (fractures/inch)
\( FRA \) is the Total Number of Fractures
\( L \) is the Total Length (inches)

What is Fracture Rate?

The fracture rate is a measure of the number of fractures per unit length. It is commonly used in geology and materials science to quantify the frequency of fractures in a given length of material or geological formation.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Fractures (FRA) = 50
Total Length (L) = 100 inches

Using the formula to calculate the Fracture Rate:

\[ FRR = \frac{50}{100} = 0.5 \text{ fractures/inch} \]

The Fracture Rate is 0.5 fractures/inch.
