Linear elastic fracture mechanics modelling was performed to determine the effect of geometry and angular position on the stress intensity factor (K) around shallow quasi-elliptic pit-like cracks, in flat specimens subjected to mixed load mode with aspect ratio depth/major width axes ( a / c ) a / c aspect ratio.
