A structural beam is built from steel with a yield strength of 345 MPa. The structure has a minimum service temperature of 5 oC, where the fracture toughness of the steel KIC = 60 MPam. What is the minimum surface crack lengths that must be detected by quality control to ensure that the full yield strength of the steel is available in the beam? Assume geometric parameter Y = 1 and plain strain conditions. Answer in millimeters.
