Determination of Stress Intensity Factor for Arc-shaped Tension Specimen by Using Finite Element Analysis

Fracture mechanics is a method for predicting failure of a structure containing a crack which divided into linear elastic fracture mechanics and nonlinear fracture mechanics. The most important parameter in fracture mechanics, Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), K, is used to more accurately predict t...
