Thin-walled pressure-vessel engineering maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The thin-wall endpoint computes the wall stresses in a cylindrical or spherical vessel under internal pressure: for a cylinder the hoop (circumferential) stress σ_h = p·r/t and the longitudinal stress σ_l = p·r/(2t), which is half the hoop — so cylinders tend to split along their length — together with the von Mises equivalent stress, and for a sphere the single biaxial stress σ = p·r/(2t); it also reports the radius-to-thickness ratio and whether the thin-wall assumption (r/t ≳ 10) holds. The thickness endpoint computes the wall thickness required to keep the hoop stress within an allowable value, t = p·r/(σ_allow·E), with a weld-joint efficiency factor. The burst endpoint computes the theoretical burst pressure of a pipe from Barlow's formula, p = 2·S·t/OD, using the ultimate tensile strength. Pressures and stresses are in pascals (megapascals also returned) and dimensions in metres. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical, chemical-plant, piping, boiler and tank-design app developers, ASME-style sizing and safety tools, and engineering education; for code work consult the applicable standards. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is thin-walled vessel stress; for general stress transformation use a Mohr-circle API and for fatigue a fatigue API.

Mechanical-fatigue engineering maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The stress-cycle endpoint decomposes a cyclic load given by its maximum and minimum stress into the alternating stress σa = (σmax − σmin)/2, the mean stress σm = (σmax + σmin)/2, the stress range and the stress ratio R = σmin/σmax, and names the loading (fully reversed at R = −1, repeated at R = 0). The criteria endpoint computes the infinite-life safety factor against fatigue using the three classic mean-stress theories — Goodman (1/n = σa/Se + σm/Sut, standard and safe), Soderberg (uses the yield strength, conservative) and Gerber (a parabola, least conservative) — from the alternating and mean stress, the endurance limit Se, the ultimate strength Sut and an optional yield strength. The endurance-limit endpoint estimates the corrected endurance limit Se = ka·kb·kc·kd·ke·Se' from the ultimate strength, with Se' = 0.5·Sut for steel and the Marin modifying factors for surface finish, size, load type, temperature and reliability. Stresses and strengths use any one consistent unit (MPa is typical). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical, structural, automotive and aerospace-design app developers, durability and safety-factor tools, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is fatigue and endurance; for static stress transformation use a Mohr-circle API and for column buckling a buckling API.

Mohr's circle and 2D (plane) stress transformation as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The principal endpoint takes a plane-stress state — the normal stresses σx and σy and the shear stress τxy — and returns the principal stresses σ1 and σ2 = (σx+σy)/2 ± √(((σx−σy)/2)² + τxy²), the maximum in-plane shear stress, the orientation of the principal and maximum-shear planes, the centre and radius of Mohr's circle, and the von Mises and Tresca equivalent stresses (treating plane stress with the third principal σ3 = 0). The transform endpoint rotates the stress state onto a plane at any angle θ, returning σx', σy' and τx'y' using the standard transformation equations, and confirms the σx+σy invariant. The safety endpoint computes the factor of safety against a material's yield strength under either the von Mises (distortion-energy) or the Tresca (maximum-shear) criterion, from a full stress state or from principal stresses directly. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical, structural and aerospace engineering tools, finite-element pre- and post-processing, machine-design and stress-analysis apps, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is stress-state analysis; for fillet-weld throat sizing use a weld API and for helical-spring rates use a spring API.
