Hl. Pan et Pn. Li, EXPERIMENTAL VALIDATION STUDIES OF A PROCEDURE FOR TREATING SECONDARYSTRESSES, Engineering fracture mechanics, 57(4), 1997, pp. 447-453
In this paper, the rho factors recommended in a previous paper for tre
ating secondary stresses in engineering failure assessment have been e
xamined experimentally. The experiments show that, in treating seconda
ry stresses, the procedure is more suitable than that in R6 Rev. 3. Th
e recommendations presented by Qi are also examined in the present pap
