Experimental method of analyzing stress intensity factors and singularity order in rocket motor geometry

A series of frozen stress experiments were conducted on surface flaws of varying aspect ratios in pressurized cylinder with star-shaped cutout in order to study the stress intensity factor distribution along the flaw border and to estimate the loss of the inverse square root singularity when the cra...
