Question: Adapted from problem 8 . 8 ( 2 5 marks ) A structural component is fabricated from an alloy that has a plane strain fracture

Adapted from problem 8.8(25 marks) A structural component is fabricated from an alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 45MPAm12. It has been determined that this component fails at a stress of 300 MPa when the maximum length of a surface crack is 0.95 mm . What is the maximum allowable surface crack length (in mm) without fracture for this same component exposed to a stress of 300 MPa and made from another alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 57.5MPAm12?
