A structural component is made of a 4340 alloy steel that has a plane strain fracture strength of 75 MPa m2 and a yield stress of 1400 MPA. The non-destructive testing inspection apparatus can detect cracks of a maximum length of 4.0 mm. If the design stress is half the yield stress and the value of Y corresponds to that of an internal crack. Considering the critical crack size of this material, determine if the crack can be detected with this device.
