Problem 9.11 A structural component in the form of a wide plate is to be fabricated from a steel alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 92 MPa m (klein.)) and a yield strength of 900 MPa (65270 psi). The flaw size resolution limit of the flaw detection apparatus is 3 mm (0.1181 in.). (a) If the design stress is one-half of the yield strength and the value of Y is 1.15, what is the critical flaw length
