Stress concentrations
 Nominal stress, Stress concentration, Stress concentration factor (SCF or SIF):

The hole in the plate is

a stress concentration Nominal, average
stress is s=200 MPa

Peak stress in hole

is s=671 MPa
The stress
concentration factor
SCF= 671/200= 3.36

Fatigue
• Fatigue is relevant in situations when loading/offloading is repeated multiple times

Shake down after pressure test

s 1. Stress – strain curve during loading and

offloading during pressure testing

1. • Note that we have compressive

stress in concentrated regions

2. Resulting stress variation during normal

e operating.

2. • Note that the stress range is linear

• The mean stress is negative (in

compression) or close to zero which
is beneficial for fatigue strength.
