Find the predicted stress to fracture the component


A component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 43 MPa-m-1/2. During initial testing of a prototype part, it was determined that fracture of the component occurred at a stress of 325 MPa with a maximum surface flaw size of 4.0 mm. If the maximum surface flaw size can be reduced to 3.0 mm, what would be the predicted stress to fracture the component?
