Anaircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane-strain fracture toughness of 40 MPa 1/2.It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 300 MPa whenthe maximum (or critical) internal crack length is 4.0 mm. For this same component and alloy, will fracture occur at a stress level of 260MPa when the maximum internal crack length is 6.0 mm

Yes, fracture will occur since toughness (42.4 MPa) is greater than the toughness of the material, 40MPa

Explanation:

Given

Toughness, k = 40Mpa

Stress, σ = 300Mpa

Length, l = 4mm = 4 * 10^-3m

Under which fracture occurred (i.e., σ= 300 MPa and 2a= 4.0 mm), first we solve for parameter Y (The dimensionless parameter)

Y = k/(σπ√a)

Where a = ½ of the length in metres

Y = 40/(300 * π * √(4/2 * 10^-3))

Y = 1.68 Approximated

To check if fracture will occur of not; we apply the same formula.

Y = k/(σπ√a)

Then we solve for k, where

σ = 260Mpa and a = ½ * 6 * 10^-3

So,.we have

1.68 = k/(260 * π * √(6*10^-3)/2)

k = 1.68 * (260 * π * (6*10^-3)/2)

k = 42.4 MPa --- Approximately

Therefore, fracture will occur since toughness (42.4 MPa) is greater than the toughness of the material, 40 MPa

unlike the threaded fasteners which are used to clamp the machine members, power screws are used to transmit power. common applications of power screws are: screw jacks: to lift weight. lead screw of lathe: for axial movement of tool and its precise positioning.
