The 2 mm thick bar shown in Fig. is loaded axially with a constant force of 10 KN at the 40 mm face to plate. When a 20 mm hole is
drilled, what is the magnitude of stress concentrations near the hole?
400 MPa
1000 MPa
250 MPa
100 MPa
Solution
A stress concentration factor is defined as the ratio of the maximum stress to the nominal or reference stress. It is normally denoted as
Kt , which quantifies the stress concentration.
Kt = σmax/σnom
Nominal stress (σnom) is the stress without the stress concentrators such as grooves while the maximum stress (σmax) is the maximum
stress with the stress raiser feature
Given: F = 10 kN = 10,000 N
t = 2 mm (thickness)
=1+ 2b
= σmax - σ0
