The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of a new stop-hole technique on the subsequent delay in fatigue crack propagation. Single edge notch tension specimens of S690 steel alloy are used to perform the fatigue crack initiation/growth tests under cyclic stress loading. A parametric study is conducted on different geometrical parameters of double stop-hole. The experimental procedure is simulated...
