CHARTS OF THEORETICAL STRESS-CONCENTRATION FACTORS

RECTANGULAR FILLETED BAR IN BENDING

Nomenclature:
sigma0 = stress without concentration factor
M = Loading moment
D = un-notched bar width
d = notched bar width
r = notch radius
I = Bar cross-sectional moment of inertia
c = Distance to bending moment element
t = thickness

Relationships:
--------------
I = t * d^3 / 12
c = d / 2
sigma0 = M * c / I
