Abstract
It has been known for about 25 years that the stress concentration produced by a notch on a fatigue specimen is less severe than predicted by the theory of elasticity. It has also been known for a long time that the factor of stress concentration increases with the absolute size of the specimen. Many tests on notch effect may be found in the literature, but a mass of uncorrelated test data is of little use to a designer; moreover, unless some correlation is effected, research on notch effects is rather aimless and inefficient. In order to alleviate this situation, a method for estimating the effect of varying geometric size of notch has been developed for steels and for strong aluminum alloys and is presented in this paper.
