State of stress and stress concentrationstress concentration: definition

The uniform stress pattern is disruption and the intensity of stress increases greatly within a very short distance. The condition is described as STRESS CONCENTRATIONS.It is due to the abrupt changes in geometry caused by imperfection of structural steel or manufacture. It includes holes, grooves, notches, keyways, threads, or abrupt changes in plate width or thickness.

Subjected to axial tensile load in x-direction, then

Lateral strain is obtained by poisson’s ratio,

Lateral contraction at middle is larger than that at the ends, therefore, the lateral stress at middle must be tensile stress

Abrupt change in width at middle →stress concentration →biaxial tensile stress field → brittle failure

State of stress and stress concentrationstress concentration and perfect plasticity of steel

For a material with perfect elastoplastic constitutive relation, once the peak stress reaches yield point, its stress will remain this value and the stress concentration factor will decrease.

Progressive fracture:imperfection of material (local damage)

microscopic crack forms (crack initiation)

crack gradually enlarges (crack propagation)
