An edge crack is located at the mid-span, bottom part of a rectangular beam that is loaded by a two vertical forces (F) and one horizontal force (10F) as shown in the figure.
Numerical data: Force F=6000N, thickness t=0.02m, height h=0.032m, length L=0.04 m ,yield=900MPa, fracture toughness Klc=50MPa.m0.5
Determine the critical crack size.Please do full exersize not just the equations
