1. Rocket motor cases may be fabricated as thin walled tubes from:

a) Low alloy steel of proof stress 1200 MPa and GC = 24 kJ/m measured in sheet of an appropriate thickness, or

b) Maraging steel of proof stress 1800 MPa and GC = 24 kJ/m

In a particular application the design code specifies that the design stress is StressY/1.5 where Y

is the proof stress. Calculate the minimum defect size

required to give brittle fracture in service for the two materials. Comment

on your result. You may take Young’s modulus to be 200 GPa in both cases.

2)If the fracture stress of a large sheet of

maraging

steel containing a central

crack of length 40 mm is 480 MPa, calculate the fracture stress of a similar

sheet containing a crack of length 100 mm.
