does anybody knows what is and how to find notch radians??any formula??
Stress concentration is a phenomenon that occurs when there is a localized area of stress concentration within a material, resulting in a higher level of stress than the surrounding area. This can lead to failure or deformation of the material.
Stress concentration is typically measured using a dimensionless factor known as the stress concentration factor, which is calculated by dividing the maximum stress at the notch or discontinuity by the nominal stress of the material.
A notch radius is the radius of the curved edge of a notch or discontinuity in a material. It is an important factor in determining the stress concentration factor, as a smaller radius will result in a higher stress concentration.
The formula for calculating stress concentration factor is Kt = σmax/σnom, where Kt is the stress concentration factor, σmax is the maximum stress at the notch or discontinuity, and σnom is the nominal stress of the material.
Stress concentration can significantly reduce the strength of a material, as it can cause localized areas of high stress that can lead to failure or deformation. It is important for engineers and designers to consider stress concentration when designing structures or components to ensure they are strong enough to withstand the expected stresses.
