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?
