Cantilever snap dimensional inputs
Annular snap dimensional inputs
Strain-based pass/fail check for cantilever and annular snap fits. Use consistent units (mm or in) for all dimensions.
Select a plastic to auto-fill E, yield strength, and an approximate fracture strain. The calculator estimates yield strain as σy/E and sets allowable strain = yield strain x design factor. You can override any field.
Estimated yield strain:
εy≈ σy/E (linear-elastic estimate).
Strain check uses a classical cantilever approximation:ε = 1.5 . y . t / L 2.
Reports outcome: elastic vs permanent set vs fracture - likely.
Hoop strain from diametric interference: εθ ≈ ΔDeff/D.
Adds optional thin-wall estimates for pressure + insertion force.
