This note concerns the Mode I stress intensity factors at edge cracks in strips under pure bending. When these cracks penetrate three quarters or more of the width of the strip, expressions in standard handbooks can give rise to distinctly different results for K~.

β¦ Synopsis
The stress intensity factors along the crack front are calculated for straight-fronted edge cracks in bars with circular cross-section subjected to tension or bending loading. The results are deduced by means of a three-dimensional finite element analysis and the stress field singular behaviour in the vicinity of the flaw is obtained by shifting the finite element midside nodes near the crack front to quarter-point positions. Different crack depths are examined and the stress intensity factors determined by the present study are compared with those deduced by other investigators.

A semicmpirical formula for the stress intensity factors for short cracks is presented. Once the crack has reached a critical depth, designated as aa, the notch has no effect on the crack tip stress field and the stress intensity factor for a smooth bar with crack depth (n + 4 is applicable, where d
## Abstract Further insight into the functional consistent displacement correlation method to calculate the stressβintensity factor for elliptical cracks will be presented. The method will be modified to account for the actual crack face shape in pure opening mode.
