If an object has a maximum allowable stress and a known width and thickness, how can the critical location of failing be found in the object?

1) By testing to destruction and inspecting the failed specimen.

2) Help with an estimate may be had by posting full details of the question on Physics Forums along with your attempt.

Is this homework?
