Abstract
A numerical finite difference approach is applied to the problem of de fect sizing. The influence of size, depth, severity and material prope rties are investigated. Some agreement is found between the numerical results presented here, and an earlier analytical approach. Deviations from the are found, and explained in terms of simplifying assumptions made in the analytical model.
