Answer to Problem 11.12P

The predicted crack length at fracture is 0.026 m .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The critical stress intensity factor is 60 MPam1/2 .

The minimum detectable crack length is 0.20×103 m .

Stress range is 300MPa .

Mean stress is 150 MPa .

Concept used:

Write the expression for stress intensity range.

  Kmax=Yσmax(πaf)1/2 …… (1)

Here, Kmax is the max stress intensity range, af is the crack length at fracture, Y is the geometrical factor and σmax is the maximum stress..

For internal cracks the value of geometrical factor is 1.0 .

Calculation:

Substitute 1.0 for Y , 300MPa for σmax and 60MPam1/2 for Kmax in equation (1).

  60MPam1/2=(1.0)(200MPa)(πaf)1/2(πaf)1/2=0.2 m1/2πaf=0.04maf=0.013 m

Calculate the critical length of failure.

  2a=2(0.013 m)=0.026 m

Conclusion:

Thus, the predicted crack length at fracture is 0.026 m .

Answer to Problem 11.12P

Lifetime of part based upon fatigue crack propagation is 2.21×104 cycles .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Rate of crack growth is dadN=1×1013(ΔK)6 .

Concept used:

Write the expression for the number of crack propagation cycle to failure.

  Nf=1(n2+1)(1AΔσnπn/2)(a(n/2)+1fa(n/2)+1i) …… (2)

Here, Nf is the number of crack propagation cycle to failure, n is the slope of plot between log(dadN) versus log(ΔK) , Δσ is the stress range, A is the constant and ai is the initial detectable crack length.

Write the expression for crack growth rate.

  dadN=1×1013(ΔK)6

Take log on both sides.

  log(dadN)=log(1×1013)+6log(ΔK)

The above expression represents a straight line with slope 6 . Thus, the slope of plot between log(dadN) versus log(ΔK) is 6 .

Calculation:

Substitute 1×104 m for ai , 6 for n , 300MPa for Δσ , 0.013 m for af and 1×1013 MPam for A in equation (2).

  Nf=1(62+1)(1(1×1013)(200)6π6/2)((0.013)(6/2)+1(1×104)(6/2)+1)Nf=13+1(12.26×103)((0.013)(6/2)+1(1×104)(6/2)+1)Nf=12(12.26×103)(1×108)Nf=2.21×104 cycles

Conclusion:

Thus, the Lifetime of part based upon fatigue crack propagation is 2.21×104 cycles .
