A plate of with 1.5 m and length 2.4 m with an edge crack of 3 mm is exposed to a tensile load of 7 MN in the direction of 2.4 m. The plate is manufactured from a material of yield strength Sy=1240 MPa and KIC-87 MPa.vm. Using factor of safety n-1.4, find the minimum thickness of the plate in mm: 2- Without crack b- With crack
A steel (KIC = 132 MPa√m) ship deck plate is 30 mm thick and 12 m wide. It is loaded with a uniaxial tensile stress of 50 MPa and is in an enviroment below the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature. If a crack of length 2a=65 mm is present, find the factor of safety with respect to failure under the current loading conditions and estimate the tensile stress at which catastrophic failure will occur. You may assume β = 1.
A PMMA plate with a 25 mm (width) x 6.5 mm (thickness) cross-section has a contained crack of length 2c = 0.5 mm in the center of the specimen. If the applied load (along the 2 length direction) is 1000 N, calculate the stress intensity factor. If the fracture toughness of PMMA, K1c = 1.15 MPa.m1/2, at what load (in N) does the crack propagate?
