    This document contains two homework problems related to fracture mechanics for a materials science course. The first problem asks students to calculate the maximum tensile force that can be applied to a concrete beam before failure, given dimensions of the beam and properties of the concrete material. The second problem asks students to determine the critical crack size for a material with a given fracture toughness subjected to a specific stress, and to include a diagram with their response.

    1. For the concrete beam shown, calculate the maximum
    P
    tensile force (P) that can be applied to the beam before failure.
    0.5
    The fracture toughness of concrete is 0.23 MPa(m) , its elastic
    5cm
    modulus is 25000 MPa, and the maximum flaw size (middle flaw)
    is estimated as 4mm inside concrete. Assume fgeom = 1, SF=1, and
    15cm
    yield/tensile strength to be 3MPa.


    50cm

    2. A material possesses a fracture toughness of 48 MPam. Determine the critical size (length)
    of the crack if is subjected to a critical far field stress of 1460 MPa. Assume infinite geometry
    and include a drawing.
