Answer:
Decreased risk of structure failure
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
and making Y the subject

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

When the maximum internal crack length is 6mm, half the length of internal crack is 6mm/2=3mm=0.003m
and making K the subject
and substituting 260 MPa for
while a is taken as 0.003m and Y is already known

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
Answer:
The match
Explanation:
You can light both the lantern and the candle if you light the match first.
I don't know of this is a homework question, but I answered it anyway :)
