- An Al2O3 part contains both internal cracks with a maximum length of 0.075 mm, and external cracks with a maximum length of 0.05 mm. At what applied stress will the internal cracks begin to propagate? At what applied stress will the external cracks begin to propagate? The fracture toughness KIC = 1.76 MPa x m1/2, Y=1.arrow_forwardExperience in non-destructive testing of 7075-T651 aluminum (Sy = 72 ksi, KIC = 22 ksi in1/2) pressurized pipes dictates that the minimum detectable longitudinal crack length is 10 mm. Thus, a longitudinal crack of length 10 mm could escape detection and be present at any time. The pipes transmit a flow of natural gas and the presence of a crack would not alter the internal pressure. What maximum internal pressure would you recommend? Neglect the pipe curvaturewhen determining the stress intensity factor.arrow_forwardQuestion: An MgO component must not fail when a tensile stress of 13.5 MPa (1960 psi) is applied. Determine the maximum allowable surface crack length if the surface energy of MgO is 1.0 J/m2. Data found in Table 7.1 may prove helpful.arrow_forward
- What is the magnitude of the maximum stress that exists at the tip of an internal crack having a radius of curvature of 5.5 × 10-4 mm (2.165 × 10-5 in.) and a crack length of 3 × 10-2 mm (1.181 × 10-3 in.) when a tensile stress of 180 MPa (26110 psi) is applied?arrow_forwardSome aluminum aircraft components have a KIc = 35 MPa(m)1/2. It has been determined that failure occurs at a stress of 250 MPa when the critical internal crack length is 2 mm. Will this component achieve failure at a stress of 325 MPa when the critical internal crack length is 1.1 mm?arrow_forward8.a) Calculate the theoretical fracture strength of a brittle material wherein fracture occurs by propagation of an elliptically shaped 0.25 mm surface crack with a 1.2 × 10-3 mm tip radius under an applied 1200 MPa stress. b) If the specific surface energy for a material is 0.30 J/m2 and its elastic modulus is 69 GPa, calculate the minimum stress required for propagation of a surface crack 0.05 mm in length. Based on this calculation, estimate the materials fracture toughness.arrow_forward
- A crack has been discovered along the edge of a reinforcing rib in titanium housing. The rib is 0.5 inches thick and 4.0 inches wide. The crack extends completely through the thickness and is about 1.20 inches long. If the housing is subjected to static loading only, and the maximumestimated loading produces a tensile load along the rib axis of 50,000 Ib, should the housing be removed from service? The housing material exhibits a yield strength of 150 ksi and a plane strain fracture toughness of 50 ksi in1/2.arrow_forwardProblem 4. A large flat plate is subjected to constant-amplitude uniaxial cyclic tensile and compressive stresses. Compute the final critical surface crack length if the fatigue life must be a minimum of 7.0 x 10^5 cycles. Assume the initial maximum edge surface crack length of 1.80 mm and a maximum tensile stress of 160 MPa. Assume m = 1.8 and A = 7.5 x 10^-13 in MPa and meter units. Assume Y = 1.25.arrow_forwardA cylindrical steel pressure vessel D-575 mm in diameter with a wall thickness of 5 mm is subjected to an internal pressure of 3 MN/m². Calculatea- the tangential and longitudinal stresses in the steel.b- To what value may the internal pressure be increased if the stress in the steel is limited to 80 MN/ m²?c-If the internal pressure were increased until the vessel burst, sketch the type of fracture that would occurarrow_forward
- As a fatigue crack grows from its initial length to its final length, does it spend most of its life in the shorter end or the longer end of the crack size range?arrow_forwardYou are called as an expert witness to analyze the fracture of a sintered silicon carbide plate that was fractured in bending when a blunt load was applied to the plate center. Measurement of the distance between the fracture origin and the mirror/mist boundary on the fracture surface gives a radius of 0.796 mm. You are given three pieces of the same SiC to test, and you determine that the mirror radius is 0.603, 0.203, and 0.162 mm for bending failure stress levels of 225, 368, and 442 MPa, respectively. What is your estimate of the stress present at the time of fracture for the original plate?arrow_forwardRequest: Can you please help me with answering the following question? Thank you. Question: A specimen of a ceramic material having an elastic modulus of 250 GPa (36.3 x 106 psi) is pulled in tension with a stress of 750 MPa (109,000 psi). Will the specimen fail if its “most severe flaw” is an internal crack that has a length of 0.20 mm (7.87 x 10-3 in.) and a tip radius of curvature of 0.001 mm (3.94 x 10-5 in.)? Why or why not?arrow_forward
