A rocket motor case is fabricated from a Cr-Mo low alloy steel of proof stress 1200 MPa , in the form a long cylinder of diameter 0.5 m and wall thickness 2.5 mm . If the design pressure at the highest thrust is 8 MPa , calculate the largest crack size that could be tolerated in the rocket motor case, without the risk of failure at blast-off. Critical CTOD measured in a small test piece is 50m and Young's modulus is 200 GPa .(assume the plane stress is valid as the section thickness is small)
