...K. S. Ravi Chandran An unresolved question in fracture mechanics is whether the variations in the size or aspect-ratio of cracked plates or structures have a significant effect on the stress intensity factor (SIF) at the crack tip. Indeed, there are significant numerical data showing the effect...
