The stress distribution in a tension specimen notched on one edge was obtained photoelastically for several ratios of notch depth to specimen width. The stress-concentration factors agreed well with corresponding values derived from Neuber's theory of notch stresses. It was also shown that the stress-intensity factor for a tension specimen with a single crack on one edge, obtained by the collocation method, agreed well with that deduced from Neuber's theory.
