Abstract
An approximate method of deriving stress intensity factors as a function of angle for semicircular surface flaws is outlined. The method can be applied to a wide range of load distributions including non‐polynomial distributions. The method is used to calculate stress intensity factors for thermally and chemically tempered glasses. The stress intensity factor equations developed are also used to calculate equivalent flaw sizes for some toughened glasses subjected to bending loads.
