Two-Dimensional Stress concentration factors may be obtained more quickly and simply than the corresponding three-dimensional factors, either by experiment or mathematical analysis. It would be convenient to obtain information, for varying geometry in the two-dimensional case of a particular type of stress raiser, e.g. a shoulder, groove or hole, and use this either to predict the three-dimensional stress concentration factors or to extend the range of existing three-dimensional results. Clearly a comparison is only possible if the three-dimensional stress raiser embodies a plane of symmetry (which gives the geometry of the similar two-dimensional stress raiser), and if the loading conditions can be reproduced in both the two- and three-dimensional cases. The latter requirement restricts the correlation to the stress concentration factors obtained in tension and in bending. The three-dimensional torsional loading system has no plane of symmetry which can be simulated in two dimensions.

Abstract In the development of oil fields, submarine pipelines are used in various applications. These pipelines and risers are subject to accidents that may occur during operation, such as shocks between risers or shocks between a riser and an anchor, rock, or any equipment or heavy object, which may cause mechanical failure, such as dents. The objective of this work is to study of the effect of the introduction of plain dents on the structural integrity of rigid risers under fully reversed bending. A three dimensional finite element model was developed to estimate the stress concentration on dented risers under bending. Several numerical simulations were carried out to evaluate stress concentration factors (SCFs) for varying dimensions of dents and risers, in a parametric study. These SCFs can be used in the prediction of the remaining fatigue life of dented rigid risers.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the stress concentration factor(SCF) for an internallypressurized cylinder with hole and based on detailed three-dimensional elastic FE analysis, a newcomprehensive set of formulas for SCFs are proposed. These stress concentration factors are presentedand discussed as a function of the ratio of cylinder diameter to the thickness of cylinder and hole diameter.The first ratio “D/100t” is equal to 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2, 2.5, 2.75, 3, 3.25 and 3.5 and the second ratio“D/10d”, cylinder internal diameter to the hole diameter, varies from 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.3, 2.7,3.1and 3.5. Results are also presented for SCF of longitudinal, circumferential and Von Mises stresses.

Abstract This paper discusses the utility of the palm sized computers for augmenting the design of machine elements. Two palm computer programs are presented for handling frequently occurring problems in stress analysis in order to demonstrate the utility of the palm computer in this environment. One of these programs handles the manipulation of a three dimensional state of stress and the other program handles stress concentration factors. These modules facilitate computational processes that would not be possible with a traditional hand-held calculator. These programs are useful for students of machine design and practitioners as well.

Abstract Bent circular shafts with holes in the plane of bending are of frequent occurrence in modern machines. They often form a part of the lubricating system as, for example, in the crankshafts of aircraft engines. Considerable work has been done to determine the maximum stresses and the factors of stress concentration in such shafts. The author presents a simple method of calculating such stresses for transverse holes in pure bending. Experimental photoelastic evidence that led to this method is given. A comparison of the stress-concentration factors obtained by it is made with the published results from fatigue tests and strain measurements from large steel shafts, which were performed a number of years ago at the Westinghouse Research Laboratories.

Abstract Computer-based design and optimization have become increasingly important in recent years. This paper has investigated the stress concentration factors (SCF) Kt for shoulder filleted shafts with a hole and without a hole. This study contains two types of shoulder filleted shafts, i. e., a stepped bar of circular cross section with shoulder filleted and a tube with filleted shafts under tension stresses. Investigations on SCF that have been carried out in experimental and theoretical studies, were updated and validated for 2 types of shafts. The charts have been converted into numerical value using high precision computer techniques. Dimensional ratios and SCF were determined using previous work charts. This study determines maximum stresses for shoulder filleted shafts by three dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) and artificial intelligence techniques. A set of SCF charts was converted into numerical values and this data was organized and stored in an Excel file. ANSYS models were created and applied the boundary conditions on the models. And also mesh optimizations were performed. Artificial neural networks (ANN) models were designed using previously collected and verified data. Previous works, ANSYS and ANN results were compared to each other. As a result, ANN model and chart results show a good agreement. The usage of ANN model does not require any mathematical formulae or converting the numerical data action for determining the Kt result for shafts. ANN model usage was identified as a very useful and practical method.

Analysis of the influence of corrosion on the stress concentration factors of typical ship structural details is presented. While traditionally constant stress concentration factors are adopted, it is proposed here to use time-varying stress concentration factors, which result from the progress of corrosion in the structure. Three-dimensional finite-element models are adopted to obtain the detailed stress distribution at different times. Linear and nonlinear models of the effects of corrosion wastage on the plate thickness reduction are considered and stress concentration factors and fatigue damage are calculated as a function of time. It is concluded that the stress concentration factors have a nonlinear dependency with the time and this leads to a significant difference of the fatigue damage of structural components subjected to corrosion as compared with the traditional predictions.
