long plate of 10mm thickness, 300mm width subjected to remotely applied tensile load of 5kn fracture toughness 50 mpa sqrtm is the plate safe against catastrophic failure? And if the plate was of FINITE dimensions state will the opening mode stress intensity factor increase or decrease or stay the same

A large flat plate is subjected to constant-amplitude uniaxial cyclic tensile stresses of a maximum stress of 147 and a minimum stress of 32 MPa. If before testing the largest surface crack is 0.98 mm and the plain-strain fracture toughness of the plate is 33.4 MPa m1/2, estimate the fatigue life of the plate in cycles to failure. For the plate, m = 3.7 and A = 5.0 x 10-12 in MPa and meter units. Assume Y = 1.14
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?
A 3 m rigid bar AB is supported with a vertical translational spring at A and a pin at B The bar is subjected to a linearly varying distributed load with maximum intensity g Calculate the vertical deformation of the spring if the spring constant is 700 kN/m. (ans: 21.43 mm) 2. A steel cable with a nominal diameter of 25 mm is used in a construction yard to lift a bridge section weighing 38 kN. The cable has an...
