An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 40MPa. It has been dete

rmined that fracture results at a stress of 300 MPa when the maximum (or critical) internal crack length is 4.0 mm. For this same component and alloy, will fracture occur at a stress level of 260 MPa when the maximum internal crack length is 6.0 mm? Why or why not?

Answer:

Yes, fracture will occur

Explanation:

Half length of internal crack will be 4mm/2=2mm=0.002m

To find the dimensionless parameter, we use critical stress crack propagation equation

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}} and making Y the subject

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}

Where Y is the dimensionless parameter, a is half length of crack, K is plane strain fracture toughness, \sigma_c  is critical stress required for initiating crack propagation. Substituting the figures given in question we obtain

Y=\frac {K}{\sigma_c \sqrt {a\pi}}= \frac {40}{300\sqrt {(0.002*\pi)}}=1.682

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m

\sigma_c=\frac {K}{Y \sqrt {a\pi}}  and making K the subject

K=\sigma_c Y \sqrt {a\pi}  and substituting 260 MPa for \sigma_c  while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

K=260*1.682*\sqrt {0.003*\pi}=42.455 Mpa

Therefore, fracture toughness at critical stress when maximum internal crack is 6mm is 42.455 Mpa and since it’s greater than 40 Mpa, fracture occurs to the material

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

%Reduction in area = 73.41%

%Reduction in elongation = 42.20%

Explanation:

Given

Original diameter = 12.8 mm

Gauge length = 50.80mm

Diameter at the point of fracture = 6.60 mm (0.260 in.)

Fractured gauge length = 72.14 mm.

%Reduction in Area is given as:

((do/2)² - (d1/2)²)/(do/2)²

Calculating percent reduction in area

do = 12.8mm, d1 = 6.6mm

So,

%RA = ((12.8/2)² - 6.6/2)²)/(12.8/2)²

%RA = 0.734130859375

%RA = 73.41%

Calculating percent reduction in elongation

%Reduction in elongation is given as:

((do) - (d1))/(d1)

do = 72.14mm, d1 = 50.80mm

So,

%RA = ((72.24) - (50.80))/(50.80)

%RA = 0.422047244094488

%RA = 42.20%

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

This will be possible when setting them up in summer with a certain quantity of sag, they have already know that the cables won't be able to sag any further because of the heat. During winter, when the cables contract because of the cold weather, the sag will therefore be reduced, but much tension will not be put on the cables.
