The finite element method and the J-integral have been used to obtain the SIF and to analyze the effect on it of three elliptical notch geometries (of equal radial depth). The results show how the SIF is greater in the notched bars than in the smooth bar and within the former when the axial semi-axis of the notch rises, its effect being greater as the diameter and eccentricity of the inner crack increase. In addition, the fatigue growth of an eccentric crack induces an increase in such eccentricity, greater as the notch axial semi-axis increases. The cause of these phenomena can be attributed to the constraint loss caused by the notch, which also facilitates bending of the specimen due to the asymmetry generated by the crack eccentricity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma15249091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T02:05:02Z","timestamp":1671501902000},"page":"9091","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Notch Effects on the Stress Intensity Factor and on the Fatigue Crack Path for Eccentric Circular Internal Cracks in Elliptically Notched Round Bars under Tensile Loading"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0144-6886","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jes\u00fas","family":"Toribio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fracture & Structural Integrity Research Group (FSIRG), University of Salamanca (USAL), E.P.S., Campus Viriato, Avda.
