Question: A thin plate with a width of 2 5 0 mm and a thickness of 1 0 mm is loaded as shown in the figure.

A thin plate with a width of 250 mm and a thickness of 10 mm is loaded as shown in the figure. Observations indicate a crack with a length of 2 mm located 300 mm from the free end. The crack at the surface is propagating towards the interior of the plate. Determine the minimum required critical stress intensity factor, Kkc(in MPa.m ?12) for the plate material. Consider a factor of safety of 2.8. Do not consider the transverse shear stress.
