K. Cho et al., STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR CALCULATION FOR A MODIFIED ROUND BEND BAR BY 3-D FINITE-ELEMENT ANALYSIS, International journal of fracture, 62(2), 1993, pp. 163-170
Stress intensity factors were calculated for a modified round bend bar
(MRBB) using 3-D finite element analysis. The results were compared w
ith published solutions for a rectangular and round bend bars. The str
ess intensity values for the MRBB are between those for the two other
geometries as expected. The stress intensity solutions were non-dimens
ionalized utilizing limit solution for short and long cracks.
