Abstract
The stress intensity factor for a single edge crack of either straight or circular front in a round bar has been determined using both the degenerated quarter-point isoparametric finite element and experimental fatigue crack growth data, and compared with values found by earlier investigators. The results of this study confirm that the stress intensity factors for straight edged surface cracks are lower in round bars than in square bars and a comparison of finite element and experimental results indicates that the effective stress intensity factor at the centre of the fatigue crack front in a round bar is 17% greater than its theoretical value. A correction function is proposed to account for the effect on the stress intensity factor of the circular boundary of a round bar.
