The bible of stress concentration factors--updated to reflect today's
advances in stress analysis
This book establishes and maintains a system of data classification for
all the applications of stress and strain analysis, and expedites their
synthesis into CAD applications. Filled with all of the latest
developments in stress and strain analysis, this Fourth Edition
presents stress concentration factors both graphically and with
formulas, and the illustrated index allows readers to identify
structures and shapes of interest based on the geometry and loading of
the location of a stress concentration factor.
Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors, Fourth Edition includes a
thorough introduction of the theory and methods for static and fatigue
design, quantification of stress and strain, research on stress
concentration factors for weld joints and composite materials, and a new
introduction to the systematic stress analysis approach using Finite
Element Analysis (FEA). From notches and grooves to shoulder fillets and
holes, readers will learn everything they need to know about stress
concentration in one single volume.
- Peterson's is the practitioner's go-to stress concentration factors
reference
- Includes completely revised introductory chapters on fundamentals of
stress analysis; miscellaneous design elements; finite element
analysis (FEA) for stress analysis
- Features new research on stress concentration factors related to weld
joints and composite materials
- Takes a deep dive into the theory and methods for material
characterization, quantification and analysis methods of stress and
strain, and static and fatigue design
Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors is an excellent book for all
mechanical, civil, and structural engineers, and for all engineering
students and researchers.
