The stress state has an important effect on the deformation and failure of metals. While the stress states of the axisymmetric notched bars specimens are studied in the literature, the studies on the flat metal specimen with inclined notch are very limited and the stress state is not clearly characterized in them. In this paper, digital image correlation and finite element simulations are used to study the distribution of strain and stress state, that is stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. Flat specimen with inclined notch was tested to extract the full field strain evolution and calculate stress state parameters at three locations: specimen centre, notch root and failure starting point. It is found that compared with the centre point and the notch root, the failure initiation point can better characterize the influence of the notch angle on the strain evolution. Conversely, the centre point can more clearly characterize the effect of the notch angle on stress state, since the stress states at the failure point and the notch root change greatly during the plastic deformation. Then the calculated stress state parameters of the flat metal specimen with inclined notch at the centre point are used in Wierzbicki stress state diagram to establish a relationship between failure mode and stress state.
