Values for calculation

$ M $ $ \mathrm{Nm} $
$ D $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ t $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ r $ $ \mathrm{mm} $

Calculation

The elastic stress concentration factor

$$K_t=2$$

Nominal or reference normal stress

$$σ_{nom}=\cfrac{12\cdot M\cdot 10^3\cdot r}{t\cdot\left[D^3-\left(2\cdot r\right)^3\right]}$$

Normal stress at point $ A $

$$σ_A=K_t\cdot σ_{nom}$$

Normal stress at point $ X $

$$σ_X=\cfrac{6\cdot M\cdot 10^3\cdot D}{t\cdot\left[D^3-\left(2\cdot r\right)^3\right]}$$

Maximum normal stress

$$σ_{max}=\max\left(σ_A, σ_X\right)$$
