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 …

The 3D Finite Element method is applied to mixed fracture under anti-plane loading of a
straight through-the-thickness crack in a linear elastic plate. This coupled fracture mode …

Metal cylinder specimens are explosively expanded to fragmentation and the effect of U-
notches in walls are investigated on fragmentation behaviors and failure mechanisms of the …

Notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) of a number of flat plates with periodic sharp V-notches
under a remote applied normal stress are calculated. The main objective of this study is to …

In some previous works two fatigue scatterbands were given in terms of the local strain
energy density (SED) for welded joints made of structural steel and aluminium alloy. The …

Each welded connection between blades and band or crown of a Francis hydraulic turbine
runner can be considered as a T‐joint subjected to pure bending induced by the water …

In the present work, photoelastic and finite element method have been employed to study
the interaction between two collinear cracks and two offset edge cracks. CY 230 resin and …

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 …

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 …

The crown notch-like geometry creates a strong stress concentration, which is characterised
by high stresses and severe stress gradient at the tip of the notch. In the vicinity of such …
