Abstract
ABSTRACTAn asymptotic elastic solution provides a good way of encapsulating the behaviour of the process zone at the edge of a complete contact. In this paper we examine the effect of a finite edge radius on the validity of such an approach, and provide clear recommendations on the tolerable edge radius if the asymptotic approach is to remain viable.
