A part is to be made from the 4340 steel in Table 11.2. The part has a yield strength of 1515 MPa. This design requires that the calculated fracture stress must be at least twice as large as the yield stress, to ensure that fracture does not occur before yield. What is the minimum detectable crack length capability required of the NDT equipment to ensure this condition?
