Dimensionless, instantaneous rate of change of the average stress: The dimensionless term for the instantaneous rate of change of average stress of system sizes Lx = 8 μm, Ly = 0.25 mm, and Lz = 1.0 mm where D = 2.995 as a function of the incremental step with respect to RG where (a) has a RG = 0.0, (b) has a RG = 0.1, (c) has a RG = 0.2, and (d) has a RG = 0.4. . The figure legends signify the notch width W that varies from 0.5 to 128 μm
