Summary
Summary
Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors establishes andmaintains a system of data classification for all of theapplications of stress and strain analysis and expedites theirsynthesis into CAD applications. Substantially revised andcompletely updated, this book presents stress concentration factorsboth graphically and with formulas. It also employscomputer-generated art in its portrayal of the variousrelationships between the stress factors affecting machines orstructures. These charts provide a visual representation of themachine or structure under consideration as well as graphs of thevarious stress concentration factors at work. They can be easilyaccessed via an illustrated table of contents that permitsidentification based on the geometry and loading of the location ofa factor.
For the new third edition, new material will be added coveringfinite element analyses of stress concentrations, as well aseffective computational design. The book explains how to optimizeshape to circumvent stress concentration problems and how toachieve a well-balanced design of structures and machines that willresult in reduced costs, lighter products, and improvedperformance.

Choice Review
This substantially revised and updated version of Rudolph E. Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors (CH, Oct'74) is enriched with finite element analysis, example calculations, and charts from Japanese, Chinese, and Russian works, among others. The book is divided into six chapters; chapter 1 offers some theoretical background and definitions. Chapter 2 includes formulas and charts for notches and grooves, and the effects of shoulder and fillets are presented in chapter 3. Chapter 4 contains an extensive collection of results regarding holes, and chapter 5 provides stress concentration factors for various machine elements (keysets, gear teeth, bolts, nuts, etc.). A completely new chapter 6 is devoted to stress concentration analysis and design. Readers will find here finite element analysis with a succinct theoretical background. Each chapter has many charts and references. Valuable not only for practitioners but also for researchers. R. Solecki; emeritus, University of Connecticut
