= A tension member made of 2014-T651 aluminum has dimensions, as defined in Fig. 8.12(c), of b = 32.00 and t = 7.50 mm. A safety factor of 3.00 against failure by either brittle fracture or fully plastic yielding is required. (a) If there is a through-thickness crack in one edge of length a = 10.00 mm, what is the highest tension force P that can be permitted in service? (Enter force in N, use 4 significant figures) Also, calculate the fully plastic limit load and indicate here its safety factor (X.). (Use 3 significant figures) (b) If the force in service is P = 8000 N, what is the largest crack length that can safely exist in the member? (Enter length in mm, use 3 significant figures) Verify the safety factor against fully plastic yielding. (Use 3 significant figures)
