$a$ $\mathrm{mm}$
$b$ $\mathrm{mm}$
$c$ $\mathrm{mm}$

Calculation

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on net area

$$K_{tn}=\left[1.002-1.016\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot a}{c}\right)+0.253\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot a}{c}\right)^2\right]\cdot\left(1+\cfrac{2\cdot a}{b}\right)$$

Nominal or reference normal stress

$$σ_{nom}=\cfrac{σ}{1-2\cdot a/c}$$

Maximum normal stress

$$σ_{max}=K_{tn}\cdot σ_{nom}$$

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on gross area

$$K_{tg}=\cfrac{σ_{max}}{σ}$$
