Calculation

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on net area

$$K_{tn}=3.065-3.472\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot r}{H}\right)+1.009\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot r}{H}\right)^2+0.405\cdot\left(\cfrac{2\cdot r}{H}\right)^3$$

Nominal or reference normal stress

$$σ_{nom}=\cfrac{P}{\left(H-2\cdot r\right)\cdot h}$$

Maximum normal stress

$$σ_{max}=K_{tn}\cdot σ_{nom}$$

Normal stress

$$σ=\cfrac{P}{h\cdot H}$$

Stress concentration factor with the nominal stress based on gross area

$$K_{tg}=\cfrac{σ_{max}}{σ}$$
