3242 An influence of variation in slant angle of side surface in three-dimensional joints upon stress singularity fields
Details
Dissimilar materials are frequently used in industrial products, such as electronic devices, welded joints and composite materials. The characteristics of the stress fields around a vertex in three-dimensional joints are investigated using a boundary element method. It is shown that the order of stress singularity between two sides of free surface in three-dimensional joints increases when the vertex angle decreases. The position of maximum stress intensity factor also depends on the slant angle of side surface.
