Answer:
critical stress = 17.899 MPa
Explanation:
given data
specific surface energy = 0.33 J/m²
flexural strength = 88.1 MPa
elastic modulus values E = 61 GPa
surface crack of length = 0.04 mm
to find out
critical stress (in MPa)
solution
we get here critical stress that is express as
critical stress = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2E\gamma}{\pi a}}[/tex] .....................1
here E is elastic modulus values and a is surface crack of length and γ is specific surface energy
put here value we get
critical stress = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2*(61*10^9)*0.33}{\pi *0.04*10^{-3}}}[/tex]
critical stress = 1.7899 × [tex]10^{7}[/tex] N/m²
critical stress = 17.899 MPa
