Static assessment of brittle/ductile notched materials: an engineering approach based on the Theory of Critical Distances [PDF]
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2014 Engineering components often contain notches, keyways or other stress concentration features. These features raise the stress state in the vicinity of their apex which can lead to unexpected failure of the component.
