Stress Concentrations
Stress concentration
● For axially loaded bars the stress is assumed to be uniformly distributed
over a cross-section.
● Nonuniform/complex stress distribution occurs due to notches, holes,
grooves, point of application of concentrated loads or other abrupt
geometrical changes

Design considerations
Impact Loading
● Up to now, all loading applied to a body in a gradual manner
● When one object strikes another, it produces large forces during a short
period of time

Impact Loading
Therefore,

Impact Loading
● Impact factor represents the magnification of a statically applied load
so that it can be treated dynamically
● It is also defined as the ratio of the dynamic force to the static force
