The drawing of the sample is not that important and a compact specimen is there in the notes. a. The stainless steel and polystyrene rulers in Example 5.2 are loaded as cantilevers of length 250mm. Both have sharp transverse scratches of depth 0.2 mm, near the base of the cantilever on the tensile side. For this surface crack geometry, assume the factor Y in equation (8.4) is 1.1. The fracture toughness Kıc of steel and polystyrene are 80 and 1...
The stainless steel and polystyrene rulers in Example 5.2 are loaded as cantilevers of length 250 mm. Both have sharp transverse scratches of depth 0.2 mm, near the base of the cantilever on the tensile side. For this surface crack geometry, assume the factor Y in equation (8.4) is 1.1. The fracture toughness K1c of steel and polystyrene are 80 and 1 MPa.m", respectively. Calculate the stress needed to cause fast fracture in each case. Will the cantilevers fail by...
A specimen of a 4340 steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 54.8 MPaym (50 ksi n) is exposed to a stress of 1225 MPa (177700 psi). Assume that the parameter Y has a value of 1.04 (a) If the largest surface crack is 0.7 mm (0.02756 in.) long, determine the critical stress C- MPa (b) Will this specimen experience fracture?
