Basic assumption is the pre-existence of initial flaws such that the crack initiation or nucleation stage is small and can be neglected. The application of the model is demonstrated for small tension plates of aluminium Al 5380 H321 with artificial initial defects generated by FIB technology, the size of which was fixed on the basis of fractographic investigations on broken, smooth specimens.}, note = {Online available at: \url{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engfracmech.2011.12.001} (DOI).
