Problem 4(10 points)
A very long pipeline is used to transport oil with an internal pressure of \( p_{i}\). The pipe's inner radius is \( r_{i}\), and outer radius \( r_{o}\).
(1) If the material yield stress is \(\sigma_{y}\), evaluate the critical internal pressure \( p_{i}\) that will make the pipeline material starts to yield. Use the Tresca yielding criterion.
(2) There is an initial crack (detected by X-Ray CT) at the inner surface of pipe with a radial direction depth of \( c \). Note that \( c \) is very small compared to the pipe radius. The material fracture toughness \( K_{I C}\) is given. Evaluate the critical internal pressure \( p_{i}\) that will initiate a crack propagation. Hint: the geometry coefficient of stress intensity factor for an edge tension crack is assumed to be 1.12.
