The stress intensity factor K at a crack is given by K = CσˆšÏ€Î± where σ is the far-field stress, a is the crack length, and C is a parameter that depends on the geometry of the specimen and crack. F or the case of the edge crack shown in the figure, C is given by:

Write a script file that will print out a table of values with the ratio a/b in the first column and the corresponding parameter C in the second column. let a/b range between 0 and 0.95 with increments of0.05.
