Size effects on residual stress and fatigue crack growth in friction stir welded 2195-T8 aluminium - Part I: Experiments [PDF]
Residual stress fields were measured in three different sizes of Compact-Tension (C(T)) and eccentrically loaded single edge notch (ESE(T)) specimens containing transverse or longitudinal welds. The effect of size on residual stress profiles was studied.

Fatigue crack propagation of planar three-dimensional cracks
In this paper the Fourier series is used to evaluate mode I Stress Intensity Factors (SIF) in three-dimensional planar flaws based on a distortion transformation of a reference disc. Under the hypothesis of an isolated crack, the SIF at each point of the
