THE sraxss distribution in a plate into which a crack is generated has been studied by many investigators. The most earlier contri&tuions are due to Inglis[ll, who studied the stresses around an elliptic hole in an iu8nite plate and to Westergaard [2], who treated the crack problem by the complex. v
An improvement of the one-parameter extrapolation method of photoelastic determination of complex (mixed-mode) stress intensity factors at straight or curvilinear crack tips in a plane isotropic elastic medium due to Smith et aL[12, I31 can be achieved by measuring the absolute value of such a facto
