2. A plate 100 mm wide, 200 mm long, and 12 mm thick is loaded in tension in the direction of the length. The plate contains a crack as shown in Fig. 5–26 with the crack length of 16 mm. The
material is steel withKIc= 80 MPa ・ √ m, andSy= 950 MPa. Determine the maximum possible load that can be applied before the plate (a) yields, and (b) has uncontrollable crack growth.
