Answer:
227.9MPa
Explanation:
Length of the flaws is given by
2b = 5.8microns
b = 2.9 × 10⁻⁶m
The relation between the radius of curvature and length and width of the elliptical flaw
[tex]r = \frac{a^2}{b}[/tex]
[tex]a = \sqrt{rb}[/tex]
Equation for stress at the tip of an elliptical surface flaw
[tex]\sigma _t = \sigma(1 + 2\frac{b}{a} )\\\\\sigma _t = \sigma(1 + 2\frac{b}{\sqrt{rb} })\\\\\sigma _t = \sigma(1 + 2\frac{\sqrt{b} }{\sqrt{r} })\\\\\sigma _t = \sigma(1 + 2\sqrt{\frac{b}{r} })[/tex]
[tex]\sigma _t = 53 \times 10^6 (1 + 2\sqrt{\frac{2.9\times10^-^6 }{1065 \times 10^-^9} } \\\\\sigma _t = 227.9 \times 10^6\\\\\sigma _t = 227.9MPa[/tex]
