The document discusses stress concentration factor (kt), which is a dimensionless factor used to quantify how concentrated stress is in a mechanical part. It is the ratio of the highest stress in the part to a reference stress. Stress concentration occurs due to irregularities in a component's geometry or material that interrupt stress flow. Characteristics of kt include being a function of geometry, loading type, and specific stress raisers like fillets or notches. Ways to reduce stress include adding holes/notches, adding fillets or chamfers to edges, and removing undesirable material. Fillets distribute stress over a larger surface area while chamfers focus stress in one area, with fillets generally providing better stress reduction.

1 Stress concentration factor (kt) ➢ dimensionless factor that is used to quantify how concentrated the stress is in a mechanical part ➢ ratio of the highest stress in the part compared to a reference stress
➢ occur as a result of irregularities in the geometry or within the material of
a component structure that causes an interruption of the stress flow [1] Characteristics of stress concentration factor 1. Function of the geometry or shape of the part, but not its size or material composition 2. Function of the type of loading (axial, bending, torsional) applied to the part 3. Function of the specific geometric stress raiser (e.g. fillet radius, notch or hole) in the part 4. Always defined with respect to particular nominal stress 5. Typically assumes a linear elastic, homogenous, isotropic material[1] How stress concentration occurs? ❖ Due to irregular stress distribution which occurs due to the different cross-sections, the presence of sharp corners, sharp edges, notches or holes, keyways, scratches.[2] Ways to reduce stress in mechanical component 1. Providing more number of holes and notches 2. Making of fillets or radius of curvature 3. Removal of undesirable material from component[3] How Fillet and Chamfer reduces Stresses? Fillet ➢ rounding of an inner and outer corner of a part design ➢ types of fillet:- ○ Concave fillet = concave fillets are on the interior side ○ Convex fillet = convex fillets are on the exterior side ➢ shoulder fillet is the type of stress concentration that is extra regularly encounter in machine design practice than any other. Shafts, axles, spindles, rotors, ands forth, typically involve a number of diameters linked by shoulders with curved fillets replacing the pointed corners(Mr. Arjun A Abhyankar, 2017, 509, 5) ➢ distribute the stress on a larger surface, preventing the stressed part from rapid deformation. ➢ By providing the fillet radius at sharp corners, the cross section area decreases gradually instead of suddenly. And this distributes the stress in the body more uniformly. This is shown in the figure given below Fillet radius = 10mm Fillet radius = 15 mm chamfer ➢ sloped or angled edges or corners of a part design ➢ Is straight and has a sharp angle ➢ Focuses the stress in a specific part of the design[1] Chamber radius = 15 mm Chamfer radius = 20mm Thank you reference [1].
