Plane strain fracture toughness is a fundamental material property which: a) is valid when specimen thickness is much greater than crack dimensions. b) increases with increasing strain rate and decreasing temperature. c)usually increases with strengthening. d)is not dependent on microstructure

Abrake has a normal braking torque of 2.8 kip in and heat-dissipating cast-iron surfaces whose mass is 40 lbm. suppose a load is brought to rest in 8.0 s from an initial angular speed of 1600 rev/min using the normal braking torque; estimate the temperature rise of the heat dissipating surfaces.

Draw the engineering stress-strain curve for (a) bcc; (b) fcc metals and mark important points.
