Chapter 8, Problem 8.9(choose chapter or problem)
A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 82.4 MPa1m (75.0 ksi1in.). If the plate is exposed to a tensile stress of 345 MPa (50,000 psi) during service use, determine the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture. Assume a value of 1.0 for Y.
