Critical stress for crack propagation

LaTeX Go Critical stress = sqrt(2*Young's Modulus*Specific surface energy/(pi*Crack Length))

Percent cold work

LaTeX Go Percent cold work = 100*(Cross-sectional Area-Area after deformation)/Cross-sectional Area

Percent reduction in area

LaTeX Go Percent reduction in area = (Cross-sectional Area-Fracture area)*100/Cross-sectional Area

Percent elongation

LaTeX Go Percent elongation = (Fracture Length-Original Length)*100/Original Length

Stress concentration factor Formula

LaTeX Go

Stress Concentration Factor = 2*sqrt(Crack Length/Radius of curvature)
k = 2*sqrt(a/𝜌_t)

Maximum stress at the crack tip

If it is assumed that a crack is similar to an elliptical hole through a plate, and is oriented perpendicular to the applied stress, the maximum stress at the crack tip is the product of stress concentration factor and applied (nominal) stress.
