What is the magnitude of the maximum stress that exists at the tip of an internal crack having a radius of curvature of 5 * 10-4 mm (1.969 * 10-5 in.) and a crack length of 4.5 * 10-2 mm (1.772 * 10-3 in.) when a tensile stress of 190 MPa (27560 psi) is applied?

    The question is a problem that requires the principles of fracture mechanics.

    and we will need this equation below to get the Max. Stress that exist at the tip of an internal crack.

    Explanation:

    Max Stress, σ = 2σ₀√ (α/ρ)

    where,

    σ₀ = Tensile stress = 190MPa = 1.9x10⁸Pa

    α = Length of the cracked surface = (4.5x10⁻²mm) / 2 = 2.25x10⁻⁵m

    ρ = Radius of curvature of the cracked surface = 5x10⁻⁴mm = 5x10⁻⁷m

    Max Stress, σ = 2 x 1.9x10⁸ x (2.25x10⁻⁵/5x10⁻⁷) ⁰°⁵

    Max Stress, σ = 2 x 1.9x10⁸ x 6.708 Pa

    Max Stress, σ = 2549MPa

    Hence, the magnitude of the maximum stress that exists at the tip of an internal crack = 2549MPa
