Abstract
A general methodology has been proposed for calculation of optimum radial strain gage locations for measurement of the stress intensity factors using strain gage technique. The upper bound (rmax) of strain gage locations for complex single ended and double ended cracked configurations has been determined using the proposed method. Further, dependency of the rmax on the crack length to width ratio and on the state of stress is investigated. Numerical results obtained from the present investigation are observed to be in accordance with the theoretical predictions. Using the proposed approach the correctness of strain gage locations used by the earlier researchers is also verified.
