Stress Concentration Factors

The paper presents an approximate solution for the stress distribution around two cylindrical holes intersecting at right angles in an infinite homogeneous, isotropic, elastic body, when the body is subjected to uniform tension at an infinite distance from the holes. Stress concentration factors for a range of ratios of the hole radii are presented, both for the case when the two holes are infinitely long and for when the smaller hole is semi-infinite.

Plane Elastic Problems

A description of the point-matching technique and of its application to the solution of plane elastic problems is presented. The technique is then used to evaluate the stress distribution in a number of plane elastic problems, and the accuracy of the point-matching technique is assessed by comparing the results obtained with those obtained by other methods. Finally, the technique is used to calculate the stress-concentration factors for a bar, with two symmetrically placed U-shaped notches, loaded in tension.

Model Approach

The joints of the tubular welded structures are stiffened with gussets in order to decrease the stress concentration factors and to increase the rigidity. The experience from field concluded that the tangent placed gussets bring the biggest improvement to the fatigue and dynamic behaviour as well as the weight saving of joints. The path of the weld seam influences the stress distribution in the joint members, gusset and in the weld itself. The paper proposes different types of weld ending path to investigate the changes in the stress distribution in all components of the joint. Using the FE analysis, the stress concentration factors were determined in three load cases. Both the numerical and preliminary experimental results indicated different joint behaviours according to the loading type. An assessment of the proposed weld paths was done, together with FE model approach and design recommendations.

Neuber's Rule

Since holes comprise the necessary features of many structural components, a comprehensive understanding of the behavior of composite plates containing an open hole is a crucial step in their design process. In the present manuscript, an extensive numerical study has been conducted in order to investigate the effects of material nonlinearity on the stress distribution and stress concentration factors in unidirectional and laminated composite materials. To attain this objective, various models with different configurations were studied. In unidirectional composites, the maximum deviation of stress distribution around the hole (from the linear solution) happens in 45° lamina in which includes a high level of shear stress. However, the maximum difference in the stress concentration factor occurs in 15° lamina and is 15.1% at the onset of failure. In composite laminates, the maximum deviation of nonlinear stress concentration factor from the linear solution is reported 24.3% and it occurs in [+45/−45] s laminate. In the last section, Neuber’s rule is employed to find the stress concentration factors of the laminated composites, with a reasonable accuracy.

SummaryThe theory of Cosserats' couple-stresses is briefly described in a cartesian system of coordinates, and is applied to the problem of stress distribution in a semi-infinite medium which possesses a non-homogeneous elastic property of an exponential type. Effects of couple-stresses on the stress concentration factors are determined both in homogeneous and non-homogeneous materials.

Stress Concentration Factors

The elastic stress distribution of four models (β=Do/Di=1.07, 1.20, unreinforced and weld-reinforced) under five typical external loadings and the strength of six models (in addition to β=1.50) under internal pressure are investigated experimentally. The maximum stress factors are obtained. The influences of weld-reinforced structure on stress distribution and strength characteristics of tees are discussed. The finite-element predictions of unreinforced tees with β=1.07, 1.11, 1.15, 1.20 are carried out. The predicted stress distributions agree well with measured results. The relation between β and stress concentration factors under various loadings are obtained.

Abstract It is the purpose of this paper to give an exact solution for the stress distribution resulting from loading a perforated strip in tension through a rigid pin filling the hole. The strip is regarded as of an infinite length and having a single axial hole. Stress distributions are found by an alternating approximation method and the stresses are tabulated in the form of stress-concentration factors for different values of diameter of the hole. The influence of size of the hole on the stress concentration in the strip is investigated and the optimum diameter of the hole is evaluated.

Stress Concentration Factors

New results for stress concentration factors at notches, fillets and circular holes in plates under uniaxial load are presented. These stress concentration factors have been obtained from numerical solutions of the governing equations for elastic stress distribution and are compared with experimental and theoretical factors published by other workers. The generality of the method used is indicated in the solutions obtained for finite plates with a number of holes and for a plate with a hole and notches.

Abstract Two plane stress problems of elliptical holes in infinite orthotropic sheets are treated: (a) Hole loaded by a pair of concentrated forces acting at the ends of the major or minor axis, and (b) hole in plate which is subjected to uniform tension. The solutions are obtained in a simple manner by transformation from corresponding problems in which the holes are circular. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the stress-concentration factors.

The values of the theoretical stress concentration factors for a number of geometries and loads are available in well-known publications. It is shown here that the reported existing results for the geometry treated herein do not account for the effect of the length of the members in the direction of the applied loads, and it is also shown that shorter lengths may have important effects on the magnitudes of the stress concentration factors, a concept widely used in fatigue applications. The finite-element-determined in-plane theoretical stress concentration factors for short rectangular uniform thickness plates, with opposite U-shaped notches, subjected to uniform tension, for the existing range of the notch radii values as well as for an extended range of these values are reported and are presented in the standard graphical form. Other types of boundary condition have been examined as well in this work with various influences on the stated factor. The transition length concept, the dividing threshold between long and short plates is revised, and the corresponding values are reported as well.

The stress distribution in a tension specimen notched on one edge was obtained photoelastically for several ratios of notch depth to specimen width. The stress-concentration factors agreed well with corresponding values derived from Neuber's theory of notch stresses. It was also shown that the stress-intensity factor for a tension specimen with a single crack on one edge, obtained by the collocation method, agreed well with that deduced from Neuber's theory.
