A structural component is fabricated from an alloy that has a plane-strain fracture toughness of \(62 \mathrm{MPa} \sqrt{\mathrm{m}}\). It has been determined that this component fails at a stress of \(250 \mathrm{MPa}\) when the maximum length of a surface crack is \(1.6 \mathrm{~mm}\). What is the maximum allowable surface crack length (in mm) without fracture for this same component exposed to a stress of \(250 \mathrm{MPa}\) and made from another alloy with a plane-strain fracture toughness of \(51 \mathrm{MPa} \sqrt{\mathrm{m}}\) ?
An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane- strain fracture toughness of \(40 \mathrm{MPa} \sqrt{\mathrm{m}}\) (36.4 ksi \sqrt{in.). It has been deter- } mined that fracture results at a stress of \(300 \mathrm{MPa}\) (43,500 psi) when the maximum (or critical) internal crack length is \(4.0 \mathrm{~mm}\) (0.16 in.). For this same component and alloy, will fracture occur at a stress level of \(260 \mathrm{MPa}\) ( 38,000 psi) when the maximum internal crack length is \(6.0 \mathrm{~mm}(0.24\) in.) \(?\) Why or why not?
The following creep data were taken on an aluminum alloy at \(480^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\left(900^{\circ} \mathrm{F}\right)\) and a constant stress of \(2.75 \mathrm{MPa}\) (400 psi). Plot the data as strain versus time, then determine the steady-state or minimum creep rate. Note: The initial and instantaneous strain is not included. $$ \begin{array}{cccc} \hline \text { Time } \text { (min) } & \text { Strain } & \text { Time } \text { (min) } & \text { Strain } \\ \hline 0 & 0.00 & 18 & 0.82 \\ \hline 2 & 0.22 & 20 & 0.88 \\ \hline 4 & 0.34 & 22 & 0.95 \\ \hline 6 & 0.41 & 24 & 1.03 \\ \hline 8 & 0.48 & 26 & 1.12 \\ \hline 10 & 0.55 & 28 & 1.22 \\ \hline 12 & 0.62 & 30 & 1.36 \\ \hline 14 & 0.68 & 32 & 1.53 \\ \hline 16 & 0.75 & 34 & 1.77 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
List four measures that may be taken to increase the resistance to fatigue of a metal alloy.
A cylindrical rod of diameter \(6.7 \mathrm{~mm}\) fabricated from a \(70 \mathrm{Cu}-30 \mathrm{Zn}\) brass alloy is subjected to rotating-bending load cycling; test results (as \(S-N\) behavior) are shown in Figure 8.20. If the maximum and minimum loads are \(+120 \mathrm{~N}\) and \(-120 \mathrm{~N}\), respectively, determine its fatigue life. Assume that the separation between loadbearing points is \(67.5 \mathrm{~mm}\).
