Determining Fatigue Stress Concentration Factors

Problem: A rectangular, stepped bar similar to that shown in Figure 4-36 is to be loaded in bending.
Determine the fatigue stress-concentration factor for the given dimensions.
Given: Using the nomenclature in Figure 4-36:
Tensile strength S ut  100  ksi
Dimensions D  2  in d  1.8 in r  0.25 in

Solution: See Mathcad file EX0603.


1. The geometric stress concentration factor Kt is found from the equation in Figure 4-36:
b
Kt = A  
r
 (a)
d
D
where A and b are given in the same figure as a function of the D/d ratio, which is  1.111 For this ratio,
d
A  1.0147 and b  0.2179 giving
b
Kt  A  
r
 Kt  1.56 (b)
d
2. The notch sensitivity q of the material can be found by using the Neuber factor a from Figure 6-35 and
Tables 6-6 to 6-8 in combination with equation 6.13, or by reading q directly from Figure 6-36. We will do
the former. The Neuber factor from Table 6-6 for S ut  100 ksi is 0.062. Note that this is the square root of
a:

Neuber's factor a  0.062  in

3. The fatigue stress concentration factor can now be found from equation 6.11b:
