Abstract
Two methods are developed for determining the stress intensity factors arising at the tip of a crack growing from a semicircular surface notch. The dislocation density method and boundary element formulations are employed, and the technique developed may be readily extended to notches of different forms, and arbitrarily positioned or shaped cracks, while retaining numerical efficiency.
