CHARTS OF THEORETICAL STRESS-CONCENTRATION FACTORS

BAR IN TENSION OR SIMPLE COMPRESSION WITH A TRANSVERSE HOLE

Nomenclature:
sigma0 = stress without concentration factor
F = Loading force
A = cross-sectional area
w = bar width
d = hole diameter
t = bar thickness

Relationships:
--------------
A = (w - d) * t
sigma0 = F / A
