Static fatigue in a glass fiber refers to the condition where a fiber is stressed to a level
(a). Using this equation, show that the time required for a crack of initial depth X i to grow to its failure size X f is given by
(b) For long, static fatigue times (on the order of 20 years),
for large values of b. Show that under this condition the failure time is 
(a). Using this equation, show that the time required for a crack of initial depth X i to grow to its failure size X f is given by

(b) For long, static fatigue times (on the order of 20 years),


Explanation
(a) To find the time to failure, we subs...
