Stress concentration factors and elastic-plastic stress and strain predictions for axisymmetric internal projections on hollow tubes subjected to axial loading
The finite element method has been used to obtain stress concentration factor data for hollow tubes with axisym-metric internal projections subjected to axial loading. A range of geometries has been considered in the investigation, and the results are complementary to previously published data. Preliminary results from an elastic-plastic analysis of a component with an internal projection are presented. Strain predictions with an elastic-perfectly-plastic material model are found to be between those estimated using linear and Neuber rules for low cycle fatigue life predictions.
