The scattered-light photoelastic technique was utilized to determine Mode I stress intensity factors associated with a semi-elliptical surface flaw in a plate subjected to uniaxial tension. Stress intensity factors were experimentally determined for the point of maximum flaw penetration and the point of intersection of the flaw border with the free surface of the plate. Experimental results are compared to those obtained in a three-dimensional finite element analysis with reasonable agreement being shown.
