Question: A space rocket motor casing is fabricated from a Cr - Mo low alloy stuel of vield stress of 1 2 3 0 MPa ,

A space rocket motor casing is fabricated from a Cr-Mo low alloy stuel of vield stress of 1230 MPa , in the form a long cylinder of diameter 0,6m and wall thicknese 3.0 mri , The design pressure at the highest thrust is 10 APa . The Critical Crack Tip Opering Digplacement (CTOD) measured in a small test plece is 50m and Youne's modulus is 200 GPij ,(assume the plane atreas is valid as the section thickness is small)
a) What are the fracture parametors typically used in Elasto-Plastic Fracture Mechanics?
b) Cilculate the largest crack size that could be colerated in the rocket motor cage, without the risk of fallure at blast-off?
c) What is the plastic zone size at the crack tip? Does it satiofy plane stress assumptions?
