    Effects of notch's position along a rod that is in tension

    Say I have a rod with a notch at the very centre and another ro with a notch at the very end. Both rods are identical in length radius materials etc. Who would be impacted by the notch more? And if then both were to support a load at the end of the rod (both in tension), what effects would the...

    Understanding Stress Concentration Factor in FEA for Stepped Shafts

    Hi, I want to understand how stress concentration factor or notch factor is considered in FEA method. Lets assume a case of stepped shaft which has got the left end of the shaft fixed with rigid wall and the other end being pulled by an axial load. In the case of conventional calculation...

    Stress Concentration Calculation

    Hi everyone, I wanted to know the stress concentration factor (Kt) for a cantilever beam with a fillet at the root with a point load applied at the end. Can I get the stress concentration factor if this beam is a 3D beam (thickness is comparable to length)? I had a look at Peterson's SCF...

    How to Combine Stress Concentrations for Multiple Keyways on a Shaft?

    Hello I have done a Soderberg shaft design calculation, taking into account the stress concentration for a keyway. However, I've just noticed that I might need to adapt this for a feather type keyseat, or 2 (parallel, 180deg apart) keyways in the same cross section. I'm sure I read...

    What is the purpose of a stress concentration factor?

    Hello, in a recent lecture on introductory engineering, our professor made reference to a stress concentration factor that pops up due to inconsistencies or changes in the shape of a material subject to a load. The introduction he gave referenced a method of stopping cracks by drilling a hole...
