Can you please help me with answering the following question? Thank you.
Question:
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?
Given your understanding of what initiates and controls failure in materials, which of the following will increase the failure strength or lifetime
of a test piece or component and why?
a. Polishing to reduce surface defects
b. Decreasing the temperature below the brittle-ductile transition temperature, to make it harder
C. Increasing its volume, to give a larger cross sectional area
d. Increasing the grain size so there are less grain boundaries to initiate failure
e. Decreasing the difference between the maximum and minimum stress values, as this effects the stress concentration factor
What is the small strain analysis in the engineering design?

(2) The point where the proportional limit ends and the moment the elastic limit of the specimen is reached, the specimen will return to its original state after the loading is removed. Typically occurs before the steel specimen starts to plastically yield. (5) The point at which the steel specimens has underwent necking and breaks. This typically occurs after the maximum stress is reached during the experiment.arrow_forward
- (one or more option can be true please select from below) which of the following will reduce the failure strength or lifetime of a test piece and why? Decreasing the grain size, more grain boundaries to initiate failure Raising the temperature above the BDTT, more plastic deformation in the lattice will cause it to fail faster Increasing its volume, greater likelihood of critical defects Decreasing the loading frequency, the material will be at peak stress values for longer Increasing the difference between the maximum and minimum stress values, as this affects the stress concentration factorarrow_forwardWhat are the main features of the Rockwell Hardness Test?arrow_forwardplease just a three questions left I need answers for them .arrow_forward
