Question:

Estimate the theoretical fracture strength (in MPa) of a brittle material if it is known that fracture occurs by the propagation of an elliptically shaped surface crack of length 0.25 mm that has a tip radius of curvature of 0.004 mm when a stress of 1060 MPa is applied.

(A) 16,760 MPa

(B) 8,380 MPa

(C) 132,500 MPa
