Abstract
Stress-concentration factors are analytically determined for relatively deep U-shaped edge notches of constant radii in a semi-infinite sheet with uniaxial tension applied parallel to the sheet edge. Because a strong geometric similarity exists between a U-notch and a semi-elliptical notch of the same tip radius, a comparison of such analytical data is effected. Stress-concentration factors for U-notches in a semi-infinite sheet are also compared with other comparable analytical and experimental data available in the literature. Finite-width correction factors are applied to the results of the semi-infinite-sheet analysis to provide practical design data. These data are compared with experimental results provided by a number of investigators.
