2. (a)
(b)
Explain the basis of Paris' Law and discuss with a sketch the
relationship between crack growth rate and stress intensity factor and
the limitation in its application.
An engine component made of alloy steel is subject to cyclic tensile
stress of 310MPa and cyclic compressive stress of 120 MPa during
normal operation. Prior to the operation, using ultrasonic non-
destructive technique, it was found that there is an edge crack of
length 2 mm.
Note that under Paris' Law, the crack growth rate (da/dN) is given in
the Appendix, where (da//dN) is in m/cycle, AK = Y(AG) ( a)¹/2, C =
2.0 x 10-¹2, n = 3.
The material properties of the steel component are as follows:
Kic=58MPa (m)¹/2, oy = 560MPa, Y = 1.1.
(i)
Find the critical crack length.
(ii)
Determine the fatigue life of this structure based on attaining a critical
size for fast fracture.
