Flaws typically exist in materials. Maybe on the surface, maybe on the interior. These flaws have a real impact on the fracture or yield strength of the materials. Why? Early fracture mechanics scientists recognized that in the vicinity of the crack tip there was a stress magnification. They also found that the magnitude of this stress magnification was proportional to the half crack length divided by the crack tip curvature of radius.
