Abstract
The scattered-light photoelastic technique was utilized to determine Mode I stress-intensity factors associated with a semi-elliptical surface flaw in a plate subjected to cylindrical bending. Stress-intensity factors were experimentally determined for the point of maximum flaw penetration and the point of intersection of the flaw border with the free surface of the plate. Experimental results compare favorably with those obtained in a three-dimensional finite-element analysis.
