    Abhishek Arora
    1. The questions discussed in the discussion session related to fracture mechanics concepts from the lecture, including why the stress intensity factor is higher at the minor axis of an elliptical crack, differences in plastic zone size calculations, and criteria for plane strain fracture toughness testing. 2. Additional questions addressed why large lateral dimension specimens are used for fracture toughness tests but not stress intensity factor tests, whether the compact tension specimen is truly compact, determining material constants in the Paris law, and limitations of linear elastic fracture mechanics for short or long cracks. 3. Further questions explored if fracture behavior differs in composite materials, if fracture mechanics can explain burr formation in machining, and what the damage tolerance approach is.

    List of Questions Discussed in Discussion Session II

    EFM-Lecture 41

    1. In the case of a shallow elliptical edge crack, the SIF at the tip
    of the minor axis is higher than the SIF at the tip of the major
    axis. This is contrary to our intuition. Can this be explained on
    the basis of physics?
    Refer Lecture No: 41 Video Time 00:00:27

    2. The plastic zone size obtained through Irwins model is quite


    large in comparison to the one obtained through the yield
    criterion applied to the elastic field why?
    Refer Lecture No: 41 Video Time 00:10:03

    3. Why are the dimensions of the specimen for plane strain KIC
    test based on material toughness KIC ?
    Refer Lecture No: 41 Video Time 00:15:25

    4. What is the relation between plastic zone size and fracture


    toughness?
    Refer Lecture No: 41 Video Time 00:18:43

    5. If we use a specimen with large lateral dimension to find KIC the


    accuracy of the experiment results is high. But in experiments
    to determine SIF, specimens with large lateral dimensions are
    not employed why?
    Refer Lecture No: 41 Video Time 00:20:38
    6. Is the compact tension specimen really compact?
    Refer Lecture No 41: Video Time 00:22:13

    7. How can we determine the material constants C and m in


    Paris law. Whether C and m are independent of stress ratio
    R?
    Refer Lecture No 41: Video Time 00:24:58

    8. Explain why in case of short cracks or very long cracks the


    LEFM criteria are no longer valid, even for relatively brittle
    materials.
    Refer Lecture No 41: Video Time 00:28:20

    9. Is fracture behavior different in composite materials?

    Refer Lecture No 41: Video Time 00:40:45

    10. Can fracture mechanics explain the formation of burs during


    machining?
    Refer Lecture No 41: Video Time 00:47:14

    11. What is Damage Tolerance approach?


    Refer Lecture No 41: Video Time 00:48:02
