An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 30 . It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 237 MPa when the maximum (or critical) internal crack length is 2.78 mm. a) Determine the value of for this same component and alloy at a stress level of 355 MPa when the maximum internal crack length is 1.39 mm.

An ideal otto cycle with air as the working fluid has a compression ratio of 8. the minimum and maximum temperatures in the cycle are 300 k and 1340 k. use constant specific heats at room temperature to determine (a) the amount of heat transferred to the air during the heat- addition kj/kg, (b) the thermal efficiency, and (c) the thermal efficiency of a carnot cycle ope limits. process, in rating between the same temperature
