• Introduce the optimized V-notched specimen for assessing the (fatigue) critical distance

• Introduce the procedure to find the statistical distribution of the critical distance

• Extend this procedure to the finite life regime

• Assess the fatigue strength of another specimen, with blunter radius, and its statistical distribution

• Application to the Aluminium alloy 7075-T6

Conclusions

• The critical distance shows a Skew normal (not symmetric) distribution.

• This distribution is Right-skewed, i.e. the skewness is positive.

• This procedure is extended to the fatigue finite life regime, the distribution trend depends on the load ratio.

• A limit (maximum) radius of the notched specimen is found and its value was larger for the finite life than at the fatigue limit.

• Blunter specimens are assessed, and the probability distribution is in agreement with the experimental data scatter on the entire high cycle fatigue regime.
