Question: 8 . 1 1 A rectangular beam made of ABS plastic is b = 2 0 m m deep and t = 1 0 m

8.11 A rectangular beam made of ABS plastic is b=20mm deep and t=10mm thick. As shown in Fig. 8.13(a), a bending moment M is applied, and a through-thickness edge crack may be present. For a safety factor against brittle fracture of 2.5 in stress, what is the largest crack length a that can be allowed if (a)M=10N*m, and (b)M=3.0N*m? Finally, (c) what are the safety factors against fully plastic yielding for case (a) and for case (b)?
