Calculation

Coefficient $ C_1 $

$\text{if }\ 0.1\le t/r\le 2.0$
$$C_1=1.024+2.092\cdot\sqrt{t/r}-0.051\cdot t/r$$
$\text{else}$
$$C_1=1.113+1.957\cdot\sqrt{t/r}$$

Coefficient $ C_2 $

$\text{if }\ 0.1\le t/r\le 2.0$
$$C_2=-0.630-7.194\cdot\sqrt{t/r}+1.288\cdot t/r$$
$\text{else}$
$$C_2=-2.579-4.017\cdot\sqrt{t/r}-0.013\cdot t/r$$

Coefficient $ C_3 $

$\text{if }\ 0.1\le t/r\le 2.0$
$$C_3=2.117+8.574\cdot\sqrt{t/r}-2.160\cdot t/r$$
$\text{else}$
$$C_3=4.100+3.922\cdot\sqrt{t/r}+0.083\cdot t/r$$

Coefficient $ C_4 $

$\text{if }\ 0.1\le t/r\le 2.0$
$$C_4=-1.420-3.494\cdot\sqrt{t/r}+0.932\cdot t/r$$
$\text{else}$
$$C_4=-1.528-1.893\cdot\sqrt{t/r}-0.066\cdot t/r$$

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on net area

$$K_{tn}=C_1+C_2\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot t}{H}\right)+C_3\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot t}{H}\right)^2+C_4\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot t}{H}\right)^3$$

Nominal or reference normal stress

$$σ_{nom}=\cfrac{6\cdot M\cdot 10^3}{h\cdot\left(H-2\cdot t\right)^2}$$

Maximum normal stress

$$σ_{max}=K_{tn}\cdot σ_{nom}$$

Normal stress

$$σ=\cfrac{6\cdot M\cdot 10^3}{H^2\cdot h}$$

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on gross area

$$K_{tg}=\cfrac{σ_{max}}{σ}$$
