An 80μm diameter glass fiber is confirmed to have no surface cracks longer than 5μm. If the theoretical strength of the fiber is 5GPa, what can you predict the expected minimum breaking strength of the fiber to be? Your answer should be in units of MPa.
Hint: The crack tip size will be no smaller than the ionic diameter (twice the radius) of O^2−(see appendix 2) and the crack length will be no longer than 5μm.
In the Table below Data for Mar M 247-a Nickel base superalloy is shown. (1) Plot the steady state strain rate and time to rupture to predict a relationship between the two variables. Provide an equation for the relationship that you see. (2) Give an explanation as to why the fracture elongation is going up with stress.
A mechanical component is fabricated from a metallic alloy. From the experiment, it is obtained that the fracture of this material occured at a stress of 36 ksi when the maximum internal crack length is 0.10 in. The plain strain fracture toughness of this material is 30 ksi sqrt(in) for this same component and alloy, investigate whether fracture will occur at stress level of 55 ksi when the internal crack length is 0.06 in.
