I have seen three representation of stress concentration factor values $K$,$K_{IC}$ and $K_t$ now all that I know is $_I$ in suffix represents opening mode of crack.The suffix $t$ stands for tip.However I do not understand how the three are factually different.I would require some fundamental advice on the three.
