8.6 A center-cracked plate of AISI 1144 steel has dimensions, as detined in Fig.8.12(a). of 1)...
Deformation and Fracture Mechanics 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...
