Stress Concentration Factor Calculator

Introduction & Importance

Stress concentration factors (SCF) are crucial in engineering and design, helping to predict the stress levels in components with geometric discontinuities…

How to Use This Calculator

1. Enter the diameter (D) of the component.
2. Enter the radius (r) of the component.
3. Enter the diameter (d) of the hole.
4. Click ‘Calculate’ to find the stress concentration factor.

Formula & Methodology

The stress concentration factor (SCF) is calculated using the formula: SCF = 1 + (2r)/(D – d), where r is the radius of the hole, D is the diameter of the component, and d is the diameter of the hole…
