Stress intensity factors of corner cracks at the bore of a rotating disk are estimated from the stress intensity factor of a quarter-elliptical crack in a quarter infinite solid and pressurized by the hoop stress. Curvature effect of the bore is incorporated through a curvature correction factor derived from the stress intensity factors of a single edge-cracked bore in a large plate and a single edge-cracked semi-infinite plate. Stress intensity factors for quarter-elliptical cracks with crack aspect ratios of b/a = 0.2, 0.4, and 0.98 at crack depths of b/Ri = 0.1, 0.3 and 1.0 in a rotating disk with R0/Ri = 8 are determined. Application of the developed procedure to corner crack problems at a through-bolt hole is indicated.

Three-dimensional photoelasticity was used to measure mode I stress intensity factors of corner cracks in a double-shear bolted joint. A model of the joint assembly was manufactured from a photoelastic material and three different corner cracks were introduced using a cutting wheel. After the stress freezing process, slices along the crack fronts were cut and analyzed using three different photoelastic procedures. There was good correlation between the methods of analysis. Stress intensity factors of these cracks were found to vary along the crack front with a maximum at the bore of the hole and a minimum on the surface of the plate. This implies that the cracks are likely to grow more rapidly along the bore.
