hole

EK575

In statically loaded tension members with a hole, the point adjacent to the hole reaches yield stress first. On further loading, the stress at that point remains constant at the […]

EK574

The ratio of the maximum elastic stress adjacent to the hole to the average stress on the net cross section is referred to as the Stress Concentration Factor.

EK353

When component geometry changes, such as at a hole in a plate, the stress at that location is elevated.
