Stress concentration have a effect on commission of structures and sometimes it cause the fracture of structures. Stress concentration is appeared where have a sudden section change like pipe connections. So stress concentration is a potent influence at pipe connentions. This paper make a study of pipe connections to alleviate stress concentration, and propose the stress concentration alleviation method that will make better efficient pipe system and will have a good effect on economic, social aspect.

This paper aims to evaluate the interfacial stress concentrations on connection between vertical through-plate and H-beam in CFT column. Full-scale experiments were performed on three specimens with varying thickness of the vertical through-plate to investigate the interfacial stress concentration factor in the connections. The specimens underwent brittle failure at the location where the steel beam is connected to the vertical through-plate before the steel beam reached its plastic moment. The strain data of the part were analyzed, and the sectional analyses were conducted to determine appropriate residual stress models. In addition, the stress concentration factor was quantified by comparing the analytical local behavior in which the stress concentration is not reflected and the experimental data reflecting the stress concentration. The results showed that the maximum reduction of the stress concentration factor due to an increase in the thickness of the vertical through-plate is 50.3%.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of weld bead profiles on stress concentration factors of double V groove butt-welded joints. The influence of three parameters such as toe radii, flank angles and bead heights on the stress concentration factors is studied by finite element analysis. It is shown that the three parameters have similar effects on the stress concentration factors. Finally a formula to estimate the stress concentration factors considering the three parameters and others is proposed and estimated results are compared with the results obtained by finite element analysis.

The stress analysis on orthotropic composite cylindrical shells with one circular or one elliptical cutout subjected to an axial force is carried out by using an analytical and experimental method. The composite cylindrical shell governing equation of the Donnell's type is applied to this study and all results are presented by the stress concentration factor. The stress concentration factor is defined as the ratio of the stress on the region around a cutout to the nominal stress of the shell. The stress concentration factor is classified into the circumferential stress concentration factors and the radial stress concentration factors due to the cylindrical coordinate of which the origin is the center of a cutout. The considered loading condition is only axial tension loading condition. In this study, thus, the maximum stress is induced on perpendicular region against axial direction, on the coordinate. Various cutout sizes are expressed using the radius ratio, (equation omitted), which is the radius of a cutout over one of the cylindrical shell. Experimental results are obtained using strain gages, which are attached around a cutout of the cylindrical shell. As the result from this study, the stress concentration around a cutout can be predicted by using the analytical method for an orthotropic composite cylindrical shell having a circular or an elliptical cutout.

Perforated plates with cutouts (or holes) are widely used in structural members. These cutouts provide stress concentration in plates. Extensive studies have been carried out on stress concentration in perforated plates, which consider cutout shapes, boundary conditions, bluntness of cutouts, and more. This study presents stress concentration analyses of perforated plates with not only various cutouts and bluntness but also different cutout orientations. Especially, the effect of cutout orientation on stress concentration is emphasized since structural members have become more complicated recently. To obtain stress concentration patterns, a finite element program, ANSYS, is used. For the designated goal, three parameters are considered as follows: the shapes of polygonal cutouts (circle, triangle, and square), bluntness (a counter measure of radius ratio, r/R), and rotation of cutouts (${\theta}$). From the analyses, it is shown that, in general, as bluntness increases, the stress concentration increases, regardless of the shape and rotation. A more important finding is that the stress concentration increases as the cutouts become more oriented from the baseline, which is the positive horizontal axis (+x). This fact demonstrates that the orientation is also a relatively significant design factor to reduce stress concentration. In detail, in the case of the triangle cutout, orienting one side of the triangle cutout to be perpendicular to the applied tensile forces is preferable. Similarly, in the case of the square cutout, it is more advantageous to orient two sides of square cutout to be perpendicular to the applied tensile force. Therefore, at the design stage, determining the direction of a major tensile force is required. Then, by aligning those polygon cutouts properly, we can reduce stress concentration.

Sometimes open holes are required for the function and the weight reduction of structure and machinery. However, the serious stress concentration occurs because of the geometric discontinuity caused by the holes and cutting section. In this study, it is attempted to obtain the stress concentration coefficients of the inner surface of the hole boundary by changing the position and the shape of holes on the homogeneous isotropic plate. And the effects on the plate are investigated. The results show that the stress level becomes low and the distribution area widens the position of stress concentration changes as the ratio a/b increases and change to a circle. And as the ratio a/l decreases, the stress concentration reduces. As the plate with three holes. the stress $\sigma$$\_$x/ and $\tau$$\_$xy/ of hole 1,3 becomes high, especially $\sigma$$\_$x/ dominant and high.

Holes of rivets, bolts and nuts may cause stress concentration on the plates used in aircraft, ship and other structures. Excessive stress concentration may lead to severe breakage of the plates. Thus, accurate analysis of the stress concentration at the design stage will be important. In this paper, accuracy of EDISON program in stress concentration analysis was examined. By changing hole size on a narrow plate, the change of the stress concentration factor(K) was investigated. Additionally, the same experiment was conducted about series of holes on plate to investigate the interaction between adjacent holes. Then, these numerical results were compared with the analytic prediction. EDISON program showed very high accuracy about stress concentration, since the numerical results was correlated well with the analytic prediction.

Although sand compaction pile is applied considerably for increase of hearing capacity in domestic, it is getting more necessary to develope the alternative materials because of exhaustion and increase of unit cost of sand. In this study, stress concentration ratio between crushed-stone pile and soft ground was measured and, a displacement ratio 30, 40 and 50%, variation of stress concentration ratio was analyzed. As an increase displacement ratio, the stress concentration effect of crushed-stone compaction pile doesn't increase proportionally and effect of ground improvement in case of ground was good at displacement ratio 30% or 40%. The stress concentration ratio of crushed-stone compaction pile in group piles is 1.5 times that of crushed-stone compaction pile in single pile.

The stress concentration ratio in accordance with area replacement ratios were considered as core elements of design. However, the stress concentration ratio will be vary depends on progress of consolidation in clay ground. And, since it is not sure to know the affecting factors accurately, the value is decided based on field experiences. To use SCP method more effective and correspond to soil improvement, the decision on proper area replacement ratio through the exact stress concentration ratio is very important. Accordingly, a numerical analysis on influence of various factors that needed to make rational designing guide for decision of proper area replacement ratio to stress concentration ratio was executed in this study.
