A new formulation for estimating maximum stress intensity factor at the mid plane of a SENB specimen: Study based on 3D FEA

In this investigation, three-dimensional elastic finite element analyses have been conducted to compute the stress intensity factor (KI) in a SENB specimen with varied thickness (B) and crack-length to width ratio (a/W). The results indicate that the magnitude of KI depends on B, and significantly...
