Question

Chapter 08, Problem 8.11 A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 99 MPay m (ksi Vin.) and a yield strength of 770 MPa (55840 psi). The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 4 mm (0.1575 in.). (e) If the design stress is one-half of the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.06, what is the critical flaw length? (b) On the basis of this value, is a critical flaw subject to detection?
