Crack length versus cycle data is given in the table below from a test on a edge-cracked plate of 7075-T6 aluminum. The specimen dimensions: h = 445, b = 152.4, and t = 2.29 mm. The force was cycled between 10 KN and a maximum value of 48 KN M P Obtain the da/d and AK values. Illustrate the Kth and Kvalues on a sketched diagram. Discuss the methods to increase the life of the component.
