STRESS CONCENTRATION FACTORS FOR CENTRAL SINGLE CIRCULAR HOLE IN FINITE-WIDTH
PLATE
Theoretical stress concentration factors (Kt) of central single circular hole in finite width plate
can be
calculated by this calculator for tension, in-plane and simple transverse bending loads. In addition to
stress concentration factor calculation, the calculator can be used to find
maximum stress values at the edge of plate and hole if loading parameters are
known. See footnotes of the "Results" table for the necessary equations for the
stress calculations.
There exist some
validity conditions for the equations which are used in the calculations. If input parameters don't satisfy
validity conditions of equations, a warning message is given by the calculator.
The formulas and parameters used in the calculator are given in " List of Equations " section of this page.
Calculator:
Note 1: * Geometry rises σnom by a factor of Kt . (Kt = σmax/σnom)
Note 2: o σnom= P/[t(D-d)] (Nominal tension stress at the
plate cross section due to tension load)
Note 3: + σnom = 6Md/[t(D3-d3)]
(Nominal tension
stress at the edge of hole due to bending)
Note 4: x σnom = 6MD/[t(D3-d3)] (Nominal tension
stress at the edge of plate due to bending)
Note 5: # σnom = 6M1/[t2(D-d)] (Nominal tension
stress at the edge of plate due to bending)
Note 6: α=30°
Note 7: KtA = (σmax/σnom) Theoretical stress
concentration factor at point A in elastic range
Note 8: KtB = (σmax/σnom) Theoretical stress
concentration factor at point B in elastic range
Definitions:
Stress Concentration Factor:
Dimensional changes and discontinuities of a member in a loaded structure causes variations of stress and high stresses concentrate near these dimensional changes. This situation of high stresses near dimensional changes and discontinuities of a member (holes, sharp corners, cracks etc.) is called stress concentration. The ratio of peak stress near stress riser to average stress over the member is called stress concentration factor.
Kt: Theoretical stress
concentration factor in elastic range = (σmax/σnom)
