โฆ Synopsis
method for determining the fatigue notch-size-effect is presented based upon the development of closure in the wake of a newly formed crack growing from a notch. A comparison with experimental results is in accord with predictions. The effect of crack closure on the formation of non-propagating cracks at notches and on notch sensitivity is also discussed.

Under the conditions of constant nominal applied stress. increasing notch root radius causes an increase in the number of cycles to initiate a fatigue crack at a notch root. An explanation of the effect is given in terms of the effective stress concentration factor of the notch. Data are presented w
Fatigue tests have been carried out on edge notched mild steel specimens of various thicknesses. Results are presented showing the effect of thickness on crack initiation, crack growth and the geometry and fractography of the fracture surface.
