Product Description
Product Description
A complete revision of the definitive work on the subject of stress concentration. This new edition updates all of the graphics with computer–generated art which incorporates both a visual representation of the product/structure under consideration along with the graph of the stress concentration factors. Contains extensive material on how to perform computer analyses for stress concentrations and how to design to reduce them. A "quick–finder" feature has been provided for locating frequently used charts. The accompanying disk includes formulas and factors that can be adapted to the user′s needs.
From the Back Cover
The definitive work on stress concentration, revised and updated
This Second Edition features The most comprehensive reference of stress concentration factors available in a single volume
A program disk containing factors and formulas that can be adapted to any user′s needs
The most up–to–date computer–generated graphs available, illustrating each stress factor
Formulation of finite element analyses of stress concentrations that permits analysis of any geometry
The how–to′s of effective computational design that will result in reduced costs, lighter products, and improved performance
The use of computers in the design of mechanical or engineering structures and machinery has had a tremendous impact on virtually every product or structure subject to environmental or use–related stress––from nuclear equipment, deep–sea vehicles, and aircraft to space vehicles, underground tunnels, and turbines. But the sheer volume of stress concentration data is now so large that users may have difficulty integrating this information efficiently into design applications.
Peterson′s Stress Concentration Factors, Second Edition establishes a system of data classification for all of the applications of stress and strain analysis and expedites their synthesis into CAD applications. Substantially revised and completely updated, this book presents stress concentration factors both graphically and with formulas. It also employs computer–generated art in its portrayal of the various relationships between the stress factors affecting machines or structures. These new charts provide a visual representation of the machine or structure under consideration as well as graphs of the various stress concentration factors at work. They can be easily accessed via an illustrated table of contents that permits identification based on the geometry and loading of the location of a factor.
The accompanying disk contains a computer program that provides the more commonly used factors, and the book offers many new examples of the calculation and use of these factors. A new chapter is devoted to finite element analyses of stress concentrations, as well as effective computational design. It explains how to optimize shape to circumvent stress concentration problems and how to achieve a well–balanced design of structures and machines that will result in reduced costs, lighter products, and improved performance.
Peterson′s Stress Concentration Factors is an essential addition to the professional libraries of engineers and designers working in the automotive, aerospace, and nuclear industries; for civil and mechanical engineers; and for students and researchers in these fields.

Format:Hardcover
If you are serious about designing products properly and are not too enthusiastic about FEA then this book is essential. As it's name suggests, the book presents information about corrections to stress levels at discontinuities. It also gives valuable information on how these factors were arrived at and the nature of stress at the discontinuity.
The language, figures and charts are all clear but, be warned. It is not for the beginner and does assume some prior knowledge.
This book was used to engineer Concorde and get man to the moon and it is as valid now as ever it was.

Format:Hardcover
If your designing components and don't have access to FEA this is a great book to use. A great companion to Roark's.
It covers most stress concentrations you'll be likely to encounter. Usefull for anyone in the aerospace, automotive or machine design industries.

Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors, 2nd Edition
28 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
The definitive book of stress concentration factors...updated from Peterson's original edition. This is the ultimate source for aerospace engineers dealing with design and analysis. Other engineering disciplines should find it equally useful. The book is more compact, yet thicker than the original but the the figures are very clear and readable. Explanations appear much the same.

Guide to Stress Risers and Other Structural Phenomena
22 Dec 2003
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Absolutely essential book for anybody interested in stresses in notched bodies; structural analysts who like to use the 'back of the envelope', finite element analysts, fracture mechanicists; designers in aerospace, rail, heavy machinery, light machinery, medical devices, almost anything you can name. Book has been updated from the original; even if you have the original edition, this 2nd edition is well worth having for your engineering reference library.
