Abstract: A formula for the stress concentration of a rounded notch cut in a clamped edge is derived. In this investigation a notched semi‐infinite plate is subjected to two situations: Uniform tension and uniform shear. The notch ...

Abstract: In the thin plate bending problem a formula is derived for the stress concentration at the end of a rounded notch in a clamped edge. Two different stress states in the vicinity of the notch are considered, i.e., the stress ...

Abstract: The stress concentration of the clamped edge is investigated in the longitudinal shear problem for isotropy and orthogonal anisotropy. The value of the stress concentration at the end of a rounded corner can be expressed ...
