Failure of engineering materials A specimen of a 4340 steel alloy with a plane strain fracture toughness of 54.8 MPa  is exposed to a stress of 1766 MPa. Assume that the parameter Y has a value of 1.6.If the largest surface crack is 0.5236 mm long, determine the critical stress .
Which of the following statements regarding brittle failure and crack propagation is CORRECT? Elastic energy is consumed when a crack propagates, due to unloading of a volume of material. Energy is released when the surface area of a material increases, as a result of crack propagation. O The stress at the tip of a crack is less than the nominal stress (force over the cross-sectional area of the component) because the stress flows around the defect. O The fracture toughness of a material is its resistance to an increase in the radius of curvature of a crack. O A material will fail in brittle fashion when the stress intensity at the crack tip is greater than the fracture toughness of the material.
A thin plate of a ceramic material with E = 225 GPa is loaded in tension, developing a stress of 450 MPa. Is the specimen likely to fail if the most severe flaw present is an internal crack oriented perpendicular to the load axis that has a total length 0.25 mm and a crack tip radius of curvature equal to 1 μm?
