Brittle failure of components weakened by cracks or sharp and blunt V-notches is a topic of
active and continuous research. It is attractive for all researchers who face the problem of …

Accurate experimental determination of mode I notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) of
various sharp V-notched configurations using strain gages plays an important role in notch …

Functionally graded steels are produced from austenitic stainless steel and carbon steel by
controlling the chemical distribution of chromium, nickel and carbon atoms at the remelting …

Crack can significantly affect the performance of structures and is one of the crucial
indicators of damage in structural health monitoring. In this paper, the deflection behaviors of …

This article presents the notch stress intensity factors of a wide range of finite-width flat
plates with periodic edge notches. A broad series of notch configurations, varying from …

An accurate fracture analysis of multi-material V-notched Reissner plates under bending or
twisting is performed by a new coupling approach of isogeometric analysis (IGA) and …

The work summarizes a large bulk of experimental data from specimens made of
40CrMoV13. 9 steel. The first part of the paper deals with multiaxial fatigue strength of …

This paper investigates finite width un-cracked and cracked notched plates. It extends
existing empirical formulae for finite width cracked plates without notches to allow the Notch …

The purpose of this study is to characterize the V pre‐notched specimens with different
relative depth ratio and the relative distance ratio by the AE signals in in situ three‐point …

The chapter presents stress concentration factors and stress intensity factors for rectangular
specimens with edge-rounded or sharp V-shaped notches. There are included both …
