Find out the critical stress-intensity factor


A very wide sheet of 7075-T651 aluminum plate, 8mm thick is found to have a single-edge through-the-thickness crack 25 mm long. The loading produes a gross nominal tension stress of 45 MPa perpendicular to the plane of the crack tip.

a. Calculate the stress intensity factor at the crack tip.

b. Determine the critical stress-intensity factor.

c. Estimate the factor of safety (n = K1c/k1)
