A) Average stress concentration at 60mm =
𝐴
72𝑘𝑁
𝜎=
60𝑚𝑚𝑋10𝑚𝑚
= 120𝑀𝑃𝑎

𝐹
Average stress concertation at 40mm =
𝐴
72𝑘𝑁
𝜎=
40𝑚𝑚𝑋10𝑚𝑚
= 180𝑀𝑃𝑎

B) Stress concentration K;

C1 = 2.086 C2 = -0.376 C3 = -1.207 C4 = 0.496

Therefore, stress concentration, K𝑡 = 1.845

C) Peak stress at the shoulder fillet using Peterson’s Stress Concentration Factor;
𝜎 max = K𝑡 × σnom
K𝑡 = 1.845
K𝑡 72000𝑁
𝜎𝑛𝑜𝑚 = = = 180𝑀𝑃𝑎
𝑑×𝑡 40𝑚𝑚 × 10𝑚𝑚
𝜎 max = 1.845 × 72000𝑁 = 332.1𝑀𝑃𝑎

D) Peak stress at the shoulder fillet using Finite Element Analysis in EIGHT (8) different mesh
sizes by means of localised mesh refinement;
To obtain different mesh sizes, the shoulder fillet edge is selected in the Edge Data, the
element size is reduced gradually from default element size 3.91511mm, and the Max stress
is recorded each element size change;
