The overall fracture strength of glass may be increased by etching away a thin surface layer. It is thought that the etching can alter the surface crack geometry. Calculate the ratio of the etched and original crack tip radii if the fracture strength increases by a factor of 8 when 48 percent of the crack length is removed.
Imagine that you have two cracked components that are identical to one another except that Component A has a preexisting crack that is twice as long as that found in Component B. Does that mean that the fatigue lifetime of Component A will be 50% that of Component B?
A structural beam is built from steel with a yield strength of 345 MPa. The structure has a minimum service temperature of 5 oC, where the fracture toughness of the steel KIC = 60 MPam. What is the minimum surface crack lengths that must be detected by quality control to ensure that the full yield strength of the steel is available in the beam? Assume geometric parameter Y = 1 and plain strain conditions. Answer in millimeters.
Suppose that a wing component on an aircraft is fabri- cated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane-strain fracture toughness of 26.0 MPa Vm (23.7 ksi Vin.). It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 112 MPa (16,240 psi) when the maximum internal crack length is 8.6 mm (0.34 in.). For this same component and alloy, compute the stress level at which fracture will occur for a critical internal crack length of 6.0 mm (0.24 in.).
