The critical influence of some “tiny” geometrical details on the stress field in a Brazilian Disc with a central notch of finite width and length by Stavros K Kourkoulis, Christos Markides, Ermioni Pasiou, Andronikos Loukidis, Dimos Triantis

“…For the analytic study advantage is taken of a recently intro­duced solution for the stress- and displacement-fields developed in a finite disc with a central notch of finite width and length and rounded corners. The vari­ation of the stresses along strategic loci and the deformation of the peri­me­ter of the notch obtained analytically are used for the calibration/validation of a flexible nu­mer­ical model, which is then used for a parametric investiga­tion of the role of geometrical features of the notched disc (thickness of the disc, length and width of the notch, radius of the rounded corners of the notch). …”
