Static assessment of brittle/ductile notched materials: an engineering approach based on the Theory of Critical Distances

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. The Theory of Critical Distances has been proven to predict accurate results, but...
