Intentionally designed or accidentally caused, notches, cracks or defects are inevitably present in engineering components and can induce high stress gradients when a far field loading is applied. Then, structural strength assessments are often based on the local stress and strain state in the close neighbourhood of the stress raisers. The present PhD thesis is divided into six Chapters corresponding to different research topics, all related to new applications of important and widely employed local approaches to notched or cracked structural components. In the first Chapter, the adopted local approaches, namely the Notch Stress Intensity Factor-based approach (NSIF), the averaged Strain Energy Density (SED) criterion and the Peak Stress ...
