In general, propagating crack in any geometries and surface will permeate stress distribution that assisted the calculation of Stress Intensity Factor (SIF). SIF is used to determine the magnitude of crack growth in body. The intention of this research is to find a method to disrupt the flow of stress distribution to influence value of SIF in a cracked body in order to arrest crack growth. The chosen method is to introduce a kerf in proximity of the crack with the intention shield the stress distribution flow. The effect will determine the growth rate of crack provided that stress flows emanating from each crack tip's stress distribution collided and create an interaction field that slows down all crack growth. The study had been proven true over the past years through various Finite Element Analysis software packages and formulation, but an actual experiment and raw data acquisition is rather scarce in publication.
