CHARTS OF THEORETICAL STRESS-CONCENTRATION FACTORS

RECTANGULAR BAR WITH A TRANSVERSE HOLE IN BENDING

Nomenclature:
sigma0 = stress without concentration factor
M = Loading moment
w = Bar width
d = Hole diameter
c = Distance to maximum cross-section location
I = Cross-section area moment of inertia
h = thickness

Relationships:
--------------
I = (w - d) * h^3 / 12
c = h / 2
sigma0 = M * c / I
