    Assignment #8

    Due Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 before 12pm (noon)

    Note: you can either submit it to me in class on March 31 or submit it to my office (Wong
    2M120) on April 1 before 12pm (noon).

    Q1. A ceramic matrix composite contains internal flaws as large as 0.001 cm in length. The
    plane strain fracture toughness of the composite is 45 MPa m and the tensile strength is 550
    MPa. Will the flaw cause the composite to fail before the tensile strength is reached? Assume
    that Y = 1.
    Solution:
    Since the crack is internal, 2a = 0.001 cm = 0.00001 m. Therefore
    a = 0.000005 m
    K Ic
    K Ic  Y  a or  =
    Y a
      (45MPa m ) /  (0.000005m) = 11, 354MPa
    The applied stress required for the crack to cause failure is much larger than the tensile strength
    of 550 MPa. Any failure of the ceramic should be expected due to the massive overload, not
    because of the presence of the flaws.

    Q2. An aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 25,000 psi in fails when a
    stress of 42,000 psi is applied. Observation of the fracture surface indicates that fracture began at
    the surface of the part. Estimate the size of the flaw that initiated fracture. Assume that Y = 1.1.
    Solution:
    2
     K Ic 
    K Ic  Y  a or a   
     Y  
     a  0.093 in.=0.236 cm
