Calculate the smallest size of a surface crack


A high-strength steel has a yield strength of 1,510 MPa and a K ic of 93 MPa-m^(1/2). Calculate the smallest size of a surface crack (in mm) that will lead to catastrophic failure at an applied stress of 0.45 times the yield stress. Assume that the dimensionless parameter Y = 1.0.
