Transcribed Image Text:### Aircraft Component Fracture Analysis
An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 31 MPa√m. Fracture occurs at a stress of 227 MPa when the maximum (critical) internal crack length is 2.47 mm.
#### Problem Statement
**a) Calculation:**
Determine the value of \( Y \sigma \sqrt{\pi a} \) for the same component and alloy under a stress level of 340 MPa when the maximum internal crack length is 1.24 mm.
*Input Box:*
- Enter the calculated value in MPa√m.
**b) Failure Assessment:**
Evaluate whether the component will fail under these conditions.
*Options:*
- No (selected)
- Yes
- Unable to Determine
This exercise involves understanding the critical stress intensity factor and applying fracture mechanics concepts to assess material failure under specified conditions.
