Assuming you have been offered a job position as the lead Engineer to supervise the restoration of a steel bridge that collapsed due to fracture. The laboratory results of the wreckage (a truss) given to you show an internal crack whose length is 0.026 mm and radius of curvature is 0.00028mm. If the material theoretical fracture strength is 2000 MPa, determine the allowable applied stress.

With neat sketches show three modes of fracture in a cracked material
1. a. Two relatively large plates, one of granite and one of slate, are subjected to a tensile stress of 40 MPa. If the specific surface energies for granite and slate are 0.3 J.m? and 0.7 J.m?, respectively; while modulus of elasticity values are 69 GPa and 92 GPa, respectively for granite and slate. Determine the maximum length of a surface crack that is possible without fracture.
Noncontact deformation measuring technique is preferred in many situations.
In a bending test for a brittle material, the distance between the supports is 300mm, the cross sectional area of the specimen is 1200 ??2and the thickness is 30mm. find the transverse rupture strength if the applied load was 1 ton
A tension test is being conducted on a steel-rod specimen with a gauge length of L0=2 in and initial diameter of d0=0.5 in. Data were collected to form the conventional stress-strain diagram as shown. From the diagram, f = 74.0 ksi, e = 104.0 ksi , g = 85.0 ksi , and h = 0.15 in/in. Assuming that the strain remains constant throughout the region between the gauge points, determine the nominal strain ε experienced by the rod if it is elongated to L = 2.7 in . Assuming that the stress is constant over the cross-sectional area and if the tension force used is P = 11.0 kips, find the nominal stress experienced by the rod. Determine the force P needed to reach the ultimate stress in the steel-rod specimen.
Which parameters could be used to determine the matrix block shape? a) Volumetric fracture density b) Linear fracture density e) Fracture intensity d) Fracture morphology
1.5-5 A tension test was conducted on a specimen with a circular cross section of diameter 0.5 inch and a gage length of 8 inches. (The gage length is the distance between two marks on the specimen. The deformation is measured within this length.) The stress and strain were computed from the test data and plotted. Two plots are shown here; the first one shows the entire test range, and the second shows a portion near the pro- portional limit. d. Estimate the 0.2% offset yield strength. e. Estimate the ultimate stress. f. If a load of 10 kips is applied and then removed, estimate the permanent defor- mation in inches.
