Stress Intensity Factors for Semicircular Cracks: Part 2—Semi-Infinite Solid

Abstract
The stress intensity factor for a semicircular edge crack is derived. Numerical values for axial, bending, and thermal loads in half spaces and plates are presented. The results show that a magnification of the stress intensity factor of about 20 percent occurs at the free surface.
