Effect of increasing notch width on crack nucleation: Simulations of system size of L_x = 8 μm, L_y = 0.5 mm, and L_z = 1.0 mm where D = 2.85, R_G = 0.8, and (a) has a W of 16 μm (b) has a W of 128 μm (c) has a W of 0.5 mm where the texture, damage and stress (along the loading direction σ_zz) distributions are displayed
