## Description

This MCP server provides essential engineering calculations for kite design and stability. It allows AI agents to determine the necessary structural stiffness using `calculate_stiffness_requirement`, assess the likelihood of structural failure with `evaluate_collapse_risk`, and verify seam strength via `verify_seam_integrity`. Additionally, it provides material properties through `get_material_constants` to ensure accurate modeling of kite performance under wind load.

## Tools

### calculate_stiffness_requirement
Determines the necessary structural stiffness required to maintain the kite's shape under specific wind conditions

### evaluate_collapse_risk
Assesses the likelihood of the leading edge buckling or flattening due to insufficient internal pressure relative to wind force

### get_material_constants
Provides lookup for standard material properties to be used in other calculations

### verify_seam_integrity
Checks if the material and seam specifications are sufficient to withstand the internal bladder pressure

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the stiffness requirement for a 15m² kite with a 5cm LE diameter, 8m/s wind, and 2 PSI pressure.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required stiffness is 450.2 N·m²/m, with an estimated deflection of 0.02m and a safety factor of 1.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 4cm diameter LE with 1 PSI pressure at risk of collapsing in 12m/s wind for a 10m² kite?
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is High. The critical pressure threshold is 2.5 PSI, leaving a stability margin of -1.5 PSI.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a seam with 0.8 efficiency can hold 3 PSI if the material has 50 MPa tensile strength.
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the seam is safe. The maximum pressure limit is 12.5 PSI, providing a stress margin of 9.5 PSI.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate if my kite will collapse in high winds?**
You can use the `evaluate_collapse_risk` tool. Provide the leading edge diameter, bladder pressure, max wind speed, and kite size to receive a risk assessment and the critical pressure threshold.

**Can I check the material properties for specific fabrics?**
Yes, use the `get_material_constants` tool. You can query for standard materials like dacron, polyester, or ripstop to get their Young's modulus, density, and tensile strength.

**What information is needed to calculate required stiffness?**
To use `calculate_stiffness_requirement`, you need the kite size in m², the maximum expected wind speed in m/s, the leading edge diameter in cm, and the internal bladder pressure in PSI.
