Metallurgical Engineering > GATE 2020 > Crack Growth
Crack growth is being continuously measured in a test specimen subjected to constant amplitude cyclic stress with a mean stress of zero. The crack growth rate is related to the stress intensity range, ΔK as
da / dN ∝ (ΔK)³,
where, a is the crack length and N is the number of cycles. When the crack length increases by a factor of two, the crack growth rate will increase by a factor of _______ (round off to one decimal place).

Correct : 2.8
