Abstract

A single edge notched specimen is commonly used in materials of steel construction for the determination the notch stress intensity factor. CT- specimen is considered as a finite element model containing an elliptical notch under a uniform uni-axial tensile loading. The volumetric method is applied in perfect elastic-plastic behavior. Changing made to notch parameters influences the evaluation of the effective stress accordingly the results of the notch stress intensity factor.
