Stress Concentration Near Curvilinear Holes and Notches with Nonsmooth Contours

  • Published:
Materials Science Aims and scope

We present a survey of the results of investigations of the concentration of stresses in elastic bodies weakened by curvilinear holes and notches with nonsmooth contours. Special attention is given to the asymptotic approach to the investigation of stress distributions near stress concentrators in the case where the stress intensity factors at sharp vertices are found by using the stress concentration factors at the rounded vertices of V-notches.
