14.1 Nature of a Stress Concentration Problem and the Stress Concentration Factor
In a uniaxial tension test, the stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the cross section at locations away from the load applicationThe nominal stress is n=P/AThe stress concentration factor is calculated as

Lines of force, i.e. the stresstrajectories whose paths must lie in the materialCluster together in passing around a geometric hole or discontinuityThe average spacing between the lines of force is reducedResults in more lines of force
squeezed into the same area
Consider a crackThe lines of force may be considered to be transmitted from one row of atoms to another rowThe transmission of force around the tip of the crack entails high straining of the bonds (AB, CD, AC, etc.)

• As b0, the elliptical hole in an infinite plate becomes very flat and approaches the shape of a through- thickness crack
• The maximum value of may become quite large compared to the applied stress for nonzero values of b as b0, depending on the nature of the load
• e.g., Fig. 14.5, Eq. 14.11 w/ a/b=100 gives ()max=201• e.g., Eq. 14.15 w/ a/b=100 gives ()max=1.02• The case b=0 leads to a special study of
stress singularities• The practical significance of very large stress
concentrations will be addressed in Chapter 15

Ellipsoidal Cavity
Prolate spheroid (football shape)The semimajor axis a of the ellipsoid (the axis of revolution) is oriented s.t. it is perpendicular to the direction of the axial pull in the memberThe semiminor axis b always lies in a plane parallel to the axial pullDimensions a and b are small compared to the dimensions of the
axial memberThe max stress occurs at the end of the semimajor axis ae.g., A long narrow stringlike internal flaw (b/a=0) oriented in a direction perpendicular to the load is 2.83 n
19
Oblate spheroid (doorknob shape)Has its semiminor axis, b (the axis of revolution) oriented in the direction of the uniaxial pull in the memberThe semimajor axis a always lies in a plane perpendicular to the loadThe max stress occurs at the end of the semimajor axis ae.g., An internal flaw or cavity of spheroidal shape such as a gas bubble in a composite resin raises the stress from n to 2.05 n
e.g., a very flat, round cavity oriented s.t. the flat plane is perpendicular to the load gives 13.5 n
If the material remains elastic, then this value is comparable to the value for a narrow elliptical hole as given by Eq. 14.11

If the beam is made of aductile material and is not subject to a large number of repeated loads (fatigue), the effects of stress concentrations are usually disregarded
Implies just use flexure formula=My/I
Respectfully disagree w/ book on this one
If beam is made of a brittle material, then effect of stress concentration must be considered in the design

14.5 Effective Stress Concentration Factors14.5.1 Definition of Effective Stress Concentration
• Scc (calculated stress concentration factors)– Apply mainly to ideal, elastic materials– Depend mainly on the geometry (or form) of the abrupt change in
section– Often called form factors
• In applications involving real materials,– The significance of the stress concentration factor is
not indicated satisfactorily by the calculated value– Rather, it is found through experience
• The significant or effective stress value that indicates impending failure depends on– The characteristics of the material– Nature of the load– Geometry of the stress riser
60
59
31
3/25/2010
• When possible in practice, use the significant or effective stress concentration factor
• Usually, Sce < Scc
• Sce is found by testing two or more samples or sets of test specimens– One set (or sample) w/o the discontinuity– One set (or sample) w/ the discontinuity– Failure is assumed to occur at same stress level in both sets
(or samples)– Sce = Pn/Pe = Failure load w/o discontinuity
• Pn= Failure load w/o discontinuity• Pe= Failure load w/ discontinuity
• Because Sce < Scc (usually), the Sce may be defined in terms of an effective stress quantity e
where c > e > n
61
Consider the case where c > e > nTheory implies the value of c
Experiment gives the value of e
Theory can be used to calculate n
Then e may be expressed as the n plus some proportion q of the increase in the calculated stress caused by the stress concentration
62
32
3/25/2010
• q is called the notch sensitivity index– q=0 implies no notch sensitivity– q=1 implies fully notch sensitive
• q is a function of the ability of the material and the member to make adjustments that reduce the effects of the localized high stress, e.g., Local yielding
• Ability of the material to make adjustments depends on– Type of loading (static, cyclic (aka repeated) or impact)– Residual stresses– Material structure– Temperature– Surface finish– Stress gradient

14.5.2 Static LoadsDuctile Materials
••••
•
Material able to yield at high local stressq is usually between 0 and 0.1
If local deformation is restricted, then may have q 1 At high temperature, may have creep
and may have q 1Brittle Materials
q is usually between 0.5 and 1 for an abrupt change in cross section subjected to static loads– Except for materials that contain many internal stress risers
inherent in the internal structure of the material, e.g. graphite flakes in gray cast iron. In such a material, the value of q is relatively small because the internal stress risers are as important as the abrupt change on the surface.
65
Repeated Loads
Mode of failure is of progressive fracture (fatigue)Ability of the material to make adjustments by local yielding is reduced
– Leads to a large value of q (usually between 0.5 and 1.0)
Fig. 14.27 Fatigue cracks in a herringbone gear66
34
3/25/2010
14.5.4 Residual Stresses
• If the member is made of ductile metal and subjected to static loads, localized yielding relieves the effects of residual stresses– and q is not altered by the residual stresses
• In contrast for a brittle material, the residual stresses can add or subtract from the effects of the stresses– Consequently q may increase or decrease
67
14.5.5 Very Abrupt Changes in Section: Stress Gradient
• Let the change in section of a member be very abrupt; i.e., let the hole, fillet or groove have a very small characteristic dimension compared to the dimensions of the section, s.t. the calculated stress gradient is steep in the region of the stress concentration
• The value of Scc is large• However, the Sce found from tests of such members
is relatively low lower q than for less abrupt changes
• i.e., a small scratch is not as critical as a ―big‖ groove
68
35
3/25/2010
Significance of Stress Gradient
For notches such as holes, fillets, and grooves, the stress gradient is given by
(14.45)
As S increases, the amount of material that needs to adjust to the stress goes down
– As a consequence q goes down and the notch sensitivity decreases as decreases
69
Impact or Energy Loading
If a member is required to absorb energy delivered to it by a relatively high-velocity impact, localized stress is a large influence in decreasing the load-carrying capacity of the memberFor a uniaxial state of stress Uo=2/2EJustification for putting a v-notch in a fracture specimen to initiate point of failureCharpyIzod
