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. Obtain the da/dN and AK values. Illustrate the Ken and Kic values on a sketched diagram. Discuss the methods to increase the life of the component. Indicate to all the graphs, charts and diagrams that will be used to solve this question.
