Question:

Estimate the theoretical fracture strength of a brittle material if it is known that fracture occurs by the propagation of an elliptically shaped surface crack of length 0.5 mm (0.02 in.) and a tip radius of curvature of 5 × 10-3 mm (2 × 10-4 in.), when a stress of 1035 MPa (150,000 psi) is applied?
