a. Determine the critical crack size for an edge crack in a plate where
the stress is 14 ksi, the width of plate is 70 in. , the critical fracture
toughness is 60 ksi in1/2, and the K expression for small a/W is given
by

b. If the stress was increased by 20%, what would be the critical

crack size?

c. If the stress was reduced to 10 ksi and a crack 25 in. in depth was
found, would brittle failure be predicted to occur?
For large a/W, the K expression for a single edge crack in a plate
becomes:

with

4. During an ultrasonic inspection of a steel pressure vessel a

longitudinal ID surface defect was discovered with a length of 4.2
inches and a depth of 0.84 inches. The vessel inner diameter is 50
inches, and the wall thickness is 3 inches. The material properties
are:

a. Determine if the vessel could operate safely with a maximum

internal operating pressure of 4500 psi considering that

Q=1.3

b. What is the critical crack depth?

c. What are the margins of safety in terms of KIC/K and acritical/aexisting?
