GATE MT 2020 Q46. Crack growth is being continuously measured in a test specimen subjected to constant amplitude cyclic stress with a mean stress of zero. The crack growth rate is related to the stress intensity range, delta(K) as, da/dN is proportional to (delta k)^3 where, a is the crack length and N is the number of cycles. When the crack length increases by a factor of two, the crack growth rate will increase by a factor of ________ (round off to one decimal place).

ΔK = Kmax - Kmin But compressive stresses tend to close the crack so, here Kmin =0 because cyclic stress of constant amplitude are being applied. K = sigma *√(π*a) Where a is the crack length .
ΔK = Kmax – Kmin
But compressive stresses tend to close the crack so, here Kmin =0 because cyclic stress of constant amplitude are being applied.
K = sigma *√(π*a)
Where a is the crack length .
