An improved semi-analytical solution for stress at round-tip notches

Submitted by Dr. Hanaor - D… on

Highlights

 

A semi-analytical model is developed for the notch tip maximum stress.

Application of the formula to U and blunt V-notches is demonstrated.

The results can be used to assess the brittle failure of notched components.
