The image of fracture toughness design stress is represented below. Four essential parameters are needed to calculate fracture toughness design stress: the Factor of Safety (N), the Applied Load Constant (Y), the Critical Wall Stress (σy), and the Maximum Allowable Flow Length (ac).
The formula for calculating fracture toughness design stress:
KIC = Y(σy/N)√(πac)
KICÂ = Fracture Toughness Design Stress
Y = Applied Load Constant
N = Factor of Safety
σy = Critical Wall Stress
ac = Maximum Allowable Flow Length
Given an example;
Find the fracture toughness design stress when the applied load constant is 7, the factor of safety is 4, the critical wall stress is 2 and the maximum allowable flow length is 8.
This implies that;
Y = Applied Load Constant = 7
N = Factor of Safety = 4
σy = Critical Wall Stress = 2
ac = Maximum Allowable Flow Length = 8
KIC = Y(σy/N)√(πac)
KIC = 4(2/7)√(π(8))
That is, KIC = 4(0.285)√(25.132)
KIC = 4(0.28)(5.013)
KICÂ = 5.729
Therefore, the fracture toughness design stress is 5.729 J/cm².
