A fracture toughness test on a compact tension specimen reveals that an aluminium alloy has a toughness of 35 MPa vm at room temperature. The specimen has a width of 95 mm and a breadth of mm, and it contained a crack of length 25 mm. The alloy has a yield stress of 475 MPa and a tensile strength of 520 MPa. Determine the applied load at the point the specimen falled and the fallure mode (You will need to use the R6 calculator to answer this question.)

Note: this is not assignment question and not a graded question

A fracture toughness test on a compact tension specimen reveals that an aluminium alloy has a
toughness of 35 MPa vm at room temperature. The specimen has a width of 95 mm and a breadth of 40
mm, and it contained a crack of length 25 mm. The alloy has a yield stress of 475 MPa and a tensile
strength of 520 MPa. Determine the applied load at the point the specimen failed and the fallure mode?
(You will need to use the R6 calculator to answer this question.)
Choose one of the following options.
Select one:
O 55 kN, brittle fracture
O 85 kN, brittle fracture
O 55 kN, plastic collapse
O 105 kN, brittle fracture
O 105 kN, plastic collapse
85 kN, plastic collapse
