Experimental Analysis of Stress Concentration on V-Notched Plate

Abstract

Failure of notch occurs under the loading condition in the region where the stress distribution is disturbed. The proper study of effect of shapes and orientations of notches is imperative. The prediction of maximum stress developed at notches avoids such failures that ensure safe design of elements. The problem of stress-concentration effects, produced by holes and notches in plates under tension is, of interest to machine designers. Stress concentration is very important parameters to know where the stress is observed on object when it is subjected to different loading conditions. The evaluation of disturbances such as voids in on object increase the stresses approximately in the vicinity of discontinuity hence its effect must be accounted. In this project the experimental and FEM is applied out to find stress concentration factor considering an aluminium plate with v-notch and the final point where been similar with data.
