According to Bridgman’s analysis, the initial stress triaxility( σ )* for axisymmetric rounded specimens can be obtained with the subsequent expression:

( σ )* = 1/3 + ln(1 + r/2R)

But In case of flat specimens, how one can calculate this triaxiality ratio to find fracture strain.

εf = (D1 + D2*exp(-σ */3) )*( 1 + D3*ln( ε .))
