1. a thin plate of a ceramic material with e = 225 gpa is loaded in tension, developing a stress of 450 mpa. is the specimen likely to fail if the most severe flaw present is an internal crack oriented perpendicular to the load axis that has a total length 0.25 mm and a crack tip radius of curvature equal to 1 µm?

fracture will occur as the value is less than E/10 (= 22.5)

Explanation:

If the maximum strength at tip Is greater than theoretical fracture strength value then fracture will occur and if the maximum strength is lower than theoretical fracture strength then no fracture will occur.

                 = 15 GPa

fracture will occur as the value is less than E/10 = 22.5

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
