The manufacturer of a product that is subjected to repetitive cycles has specified that the product should be removed from service when any crack reaches 15% of the critical crack length required to cause fracture. Consider a crack that is initially 0.02 mm long in a material with a fracture toughness of 55 MPaVm. The product is continuously cycled between compres- sive and tensile stresses of 300 MPa at a constant frequency. Assume external cracks for whichƒ= 1.12. The materials constants for these units are n- 3.4 and C- 2x 10-1. (a) What is the critical crack length required to cause fracture? (b) How many cycles will cause product failure? (c) If the product is removed from service as specified by the manufacturer, how much of the useful life of the product remains?

A very large, steel plate of yield stress 200 MPa has a crack at the centre of length 18 mm, orientated along the x-axis. If the plate is subjected to far field tensile loading of magnitude 179 MPa and is assumed to be in a state of plane strain, determine the extent of the plastic region at the crack tip, along the x-axis. You may assume Poisson's ratio is (1/3). Express your answer as an integer value of mm.

2. The Goodman diagram relates oa and om for fatigue failure after a specific number of cycles Nf, where da is the cyclic stress amplitude, and om the mean stress. For a steel specimen it is found that oa oa (0). [1- (om/OTS)] where Ors is the metal's tensile stress (375MPa), and oa (0)~0.450TS is the 107 cycle fatigue limit at zero mean stress. Assuming the specimen is cycled repeatedly between 0 stress and a peak stress, what is the maximum peak stress if failure in < 107 cycles is to be avoided? Ans: 233 MPa
