Problem 8:\ 8.8 A large plate is fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of
82.4MPa\\\\sqrt(m). If, during service use, the plate is exposed to a tensile stress of
345MPa, determine the minimum length of a surface crack that will lead to fracture. Assume a value of 1.0 for
Y.
