Question:

A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 82.4 MPa(m (75.0ksi(m). 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?
