The aim of the present paper is to provide an efficient numerical technique to evaluate the linear elastic stress parameters to use in an existing fatigue model. The model allows to assess the tensile fatigue limit of components weakened by defects, cracks, sharp as well as blunt notches with arbitrary notch opening angles. To apply the fatigue model, both the elastic stress concentration factor of the notch and the notch stress intensity factor of the corresponding sharp notch must be evaluated. Therefore, in principle two different linear elastic stress analyses should be performed. The novel technique proposed in the present paper involves only a single linear elastic stress analysis, consisting of a sharp and coarse finite element model...
