How to Calculate and Solve for Design Stress due to Fracture | Fracture
Last Updated on December 14, 2022
The image of design stress due to fracture is represented below.
To compute for design stress due to fracture, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Fracture Toughness (KIC), Applied Load Constant (Y) and Length of Crack on Surface (a).
The formula for calculating design stress due to fracture:
σc = KIC/Y√(πa)
σc = Design Stress due to Fracture
KIC = Fracture Toughness
Y = Applied Load Constant
a = Length of Crack on Surface
Given an example;
Find the design stress due to fracture when the fracture toughness is 12, the applied load constant is 6 and length of crack on surface is 2.
This implies that;
KIC = Fracture Toughness = 12
Y = Applied Load Constant = 6
a = Length of Crack on Surface = 2
σc = KIC/Y√(πa)
σc = 12/(6)√(π(2))
σc = 12/(6)√(6.28)
σc = 12/(6)(2.50)
σc = 12/(15.039)
σc = 0.797
Therefore, the design stress due to fracture is 0.797 Pa.
