Failure of a factory Halfshaft at the Brinell test indentation was mentioned earlier in this thread. I had an object lesson in stress raisers caused by a sudden change in section some years ago with my Special.
You can see part of the Brinell indentation on the broken end in the photo. What's not so obvious is where I've blinded it out (the shiny area just behind the new keyway) in the short Halfshaft that I created from a knackered long one above the broken end.
