(b) An aluminium plate (100 mm width x 300 mm height x 4 mm thick) with a centre-crack is subjected to a mode-l service load of 40 kN. Assume that the fracture toughness of the material is 24 MPa Vm and Y=1.0. (ii) What is the safety factor on crack length? Assume that the yield strength of aluminium is 425 MPa.
