Three kinds of specimens with elliptical defects in the form of a one-sided notch oriented at different angles 45, 60, and 90 degrees were subjected to cyclic bending (R=-1). The stress state analysis was performed using local and non-local methods to determine an equivalent amplitude of stress, and then the results were compared with those obtained for smooth specimens.81311278engDefectsFatigue of materialNon-local methodsMechanical EngineeringMechanics of MaterialsCivil and Structural EngineeringGeneral Materials ScienceEffect of elliptical defect orientation on the durability of specimens subjected to cyclic bendingjournal article10.1016/j.prostr.2022.01.129https://www.scopus.com/pages/publications/85129491916
