Extract

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.
