Abstract
AbstractThe main aim of this work is to propose a simple and highly accurate approach to evaluate the stress concentration factor of notched solids under Mode 1 loading by using non‐regular coarse meshes and the elemental averaged strain energy. As a first step of the analysis, the analytical expression for the Strain Energy averaged over a four‐sided and three‐sided finite element located at the notch tip is derived, taking advantage of Filippi–Lazzarin–Tovo equations for rounded notched plates under pure Mode 1 loading. Subsequently, the accuracy of the proposed approach is widely validated taking advantage of a large number of examples related to U‐shaped notches and rounded V‐shaped notches with different notch root radii.
