“…where K S5 \ is the maximum SIF at which SSY in a certain cracked solid is still maintained according to the condition (27), and ^SSF is the minimum SIF to establish a self-similar field, i.e., just what allows a clear distinction between a crack as an object of fracture mechanics methodology and an arbitrary flaw (e.g., a cut, a notch, or of any other kind) for which fracture mechanics in general, and LEFM in particular, does not work because local rupture there occurs at nominal applied Κ < KSSF(P), i.e., when the very near tip stress-strain field is not controlled solely by K.…”
