1. A large, thick plate contains a through crack with total crack length 2a, lying in the x-axis (figure below). The size of the specimen is much larger than the crack. The toughness of the material is Gc-11.7 KJ / m2 , the Young's modulus of the material is E-200 GPa, the Poisson's ratio v 0.25, and the yield stress is sufficiently high. If the remote stresses are σ o, :: 200 MPa. Try-100 MPa, what should be the critical...
A material with a Young's Modulus of 1 GPa has an edge crack (a) of 1.58 x10^-5 m.

1. (Fracture toughness) (a) An AISI 4340 steel plate has a width W of 30 cm and has a central crack 2a of 3 mm. The plate is under a uniform stress, ?·This steel has a Kic value of 50 m2. Find the maximum stress for this crack length. (b) If the operating stress is 1500 MPa, compute the maximum crack size that the steel may have without failure. 2. (Plastic zone radius) The size of...
1. A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 82.4 MPavm. If the plate is exposed to a tensile stress of 345 MPa during service use, determine the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture. Assume a value of 1.0 for Y.

Problem #1 A cylindrical rod of copper (E 110 GPa) having a yield strength of 240 MPa is to be subjected to a load of 6660 N. If the length of the rod is 380 mm, what must the diameter be to allow an elongation of 0.50 mm? A cylindrical specimen of some alloy 8 mm in diameter is stressed elastically in tension. A force of 15,700 N produces a reduction in the specimen diameter of 5 10-3 mm. Compute...
