Learning Goal: To determine the effects of certain geometric shapes, namely fillets and circular cutouts, on the stress distributions inside a rigid body and to determine the maximum applicable axial force in the same rigid body while considering these stress concentrations.
The member shown below is made of steel alloy = 160 MPa that is 83.0 mm thick. The member is subjected to an axial force P that is applied at both ends. Let r = 25.0 mm, w = 100 mm, h = 50.0 mm, and d = 10.0 mm.
A) Determine the stress-concentration factor K due to the 10.0-mm-diameter circular cutout in the member.
