A high strength steel plate (Figure 7-21), which has a plane strain fracture toughness of 80 MPa∑m is alternately loaded in tension to 500 MPa and in compression to 60 Mpa. The plate is to survive for 10 years with the stress being applied at a frequency of once every 5 minutes. Design a manufacturing and testing procedure that ensures that the component will serve as intended. Assume a geometry factor f=1 for all flaws. Figure 7-21 Crack growth rate versus stress intensity factor range for a high-strength steel. For this steel, C = 1.62 x 10^-12 and n = 3.2 for the units shown.
