One U-notch in a member of rectangular section for elastic stress, axial tension

One U-notch in a member of rectangular section D r h
One U-notch in a member of rectangular section

Values for calculation

$ D $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ h $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ r $ $ \mathrm{mm} $

Calculation

Coefficient $ C_1 $

$$C_1=0.721+2.394\cdot\sqrt{h/r}-0.127\cdot h/r$$

Coefficient $ C_2 $

$$C_2=1.978-11.489\cdot\sqrt{h/r}+2.211\cdot h/r$$

Coefficient $ C_3 $

$$C_3=-4.413+18.751\cdot\sqrt{h/r}-4.596\cdot h/r$$

Coefficient $ C_4 $

$$C_4=2.714-9.655\cdot\sqrt{h/r}+2.512\cdot h/r$$

The elastic stress concentration factor

$$K_t=C_1+C_2\cdot\left(\cfrac{h}{D}\right)+C_3\cdot\left(\cfrac{h}{D}\right)^2+C_4\cdot\left(\cfrac{h}{D}\right)^3$$

Requirements

$$ 0.5 \le h/r \le 4.0 $$
