✦ Synopsis

The present paper describes a simple mathematical mode? to predict tip opening displacement in notches and removes anomalies that arise when the earlier theories of sharp cracks are. applied to notches. The evaluation of plastic zone size, stress intensity factor and tip opening displacement in notches under plane strain mode of loading has been presented for two different geometries and the results have been discussed vis-a-vis the sharp crack case.
