Thin walled pressure vessels are to be made either from Material A and B. If the applied stress is 1.2 times higher when material A is used and (KIC)A = 0.6(KIC)B (where, KIC denotes plain strain fracture toughness). The ratio of critical crack lengths in material A and B will be
Thin walled pressure vessels are to be made either from Material A and B. If the applied stress is 1.2 times higher when material A is used and (KIC)A = 0.6(KIC)B (where, KIC denotes plain strain fracture toughness). The ratio of critical crack lengths in material A and B will be Correct Answer $$\frac{1}{4}$$
