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 77.0 MPa (70.1 ksi ). and a yield strength of 1400 MPa (205,000 psi).The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 4.0 mm (0.16 in.). If the design stress is one-half the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.0, determine whether a critical flaw for this plate is subject to detection.
