Abstract
null null This work presents the numerical simulation and validation of a fatigue propagation test of a semi-elliptical crack located at the side of the rectangular section of a beam subjected to four-point bending. For most common fatigue test configurations there are equations that allow calculating the stress intensity factors (SIFs). However, no solution is provided if the crack is located on any of the lateral sides of the rectangular...
