(3) The strength criterion can be restated as:<br />

Limit<br />

Substituting for t into the mass equation (2) above gives the mass m3 required to<br />

give sufficient strength:<br />

)<br />

σ Limit<br />

The mass m3 is minimized by maximizing σ lim it / ρ . It appears as one axis of<br />

the figure opposite.<br />

(4) The damage criterion can be restated as:<br />

Substituting for t into the mass equation (2) above and rearranging:<br />

K IC<br />

This suggests mass is minimized by maximizing ΚΙC / ρ, shown as the other axis<br />

of the figure.<br />

The figure is used in the same way as the previous one. Setting m 3 = m4<br />

gives<br />

the equation for the coupling line:<br />

using the limiting crack size of 0.05 in. This line is plotted on the figure. A<br />

selection box with its corner on the line, as shown, correctly balances the<br />

constraint on strength and that on damage tolerance. Sliding this up the line, and<br />

exploring the intersection between the two selection stages gives the materials that<br />

best meet the four criteria.<br />
