Capillary Action Calculator

Calculate capillary rise height h = 2γcosθ/(ρgr). Water in glass capillary (θ≈0°): 15mm rise in 1mm diameter tube. Mercury in glass (θ=140°): capillary depression. Soil moisture capillarity.

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.
