P P 4.7 Stress Concentrations Chr_part3 P Abrupt changes in cross-sectional geometry can produce stress concentrations, Kt. In other words, a uniform stress profile, P/A is no longer valid. P
smax > savg Example: Look at deformation in vicinity of hole. Is it uniform??? Figure: 04-21a Stress profile is not uniform. smax occurs at area of discontinuity. smax > savg
smax = Kt* savg smax = maximum stress savg = average stress (P/Amin) Figure: 04-21b,c smax = maximum stress savg = average stress (P/Amin) Kt = stress concentration factor
Figure: 04-25
Figure: 04-22a smax = Kt* savg

Plate is 1,000 mm long, 400 mm tall and 10 mm thick with a load of 4 kN. Find max stress. What not to do:
Possible stress singularity Region of interest
