From Tabel 5.2 we get the yield strength of Ti-6Al-4V: S

= 119 ksi. The safety factor
guarding against yield is then:

So failure by yielding is not predicted to occur.
(c) This is mode I fracture. The thickness of the member is B = 0.375 in. The minumum
material thickness for plane strain conditions is:
