CHARTS OF THEORETICAL STRESS-CONCENTRATION FACTORS

RECTANGULAR FILLETED BAR IN TENSION OR SIMPLE COMPRESSION

Nomenclature:
sigma0 = stress without concentration factor
F = Loading force
D = un-notched bar width
d = notched bar width
r = notch radius
A = Bar cross-sectional area
t = thickness

Relationships:
--------------
A = d * t
sigma0 = F / A
