La détermination du coefficient de concentration de contraintes suppose la connaissance des contraintes nominales par les formules classiques, de la résistance des matériaux et de la contrainte réelle. 2, record 1, French, - facteur%20de%20r%C3%A9duction%20de%20la%20r%C3%A9sistance%20%C3%A0%20la%20fatigue

Le coefficient de concentration de contraintes est un outil peu précis. Il est illusoire d'espérer une incertitude inférieure à 10 %. Lorsqu'il est nécessaire de connaître avec précision la contrainte dans une zone de concentration, il faut la mesurer ou la calculer directement par une méthode numérique. 2, record 1, French, - facteur%20de%20r%C3%A9duction%20de%20la%20r%C3%A9sistance%20%C3%A0%20la%20fatigue
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'entaille [...] n'est pas la seule particularité morphologique susceptible de créer une concentration de contraintes. Les épaulements, les trous et, en règle générale, toutes les discontinuités de forme provoquent le même phénomène. Cependant, on utilise souvent le terme d'entaille pour schématiser tous les cas possibles. L'effet d'une entaille sur une pièce est la création de concentrations de contraintes locales. 2, record 1, French, - facteur%20de%20r%C3%A9duction%20de%20la%20r%C3%A9sistance%20%C3%A0%20la%20fatigue

A hypothetical value of stress for failure at exactly N cycles as determined from an S-N diagram. The value of SN thus determined is subject to the same conditions as those which apply to the S-N diagram. The value of SN that is commonly found in the literature is the hypothetical value of maximum stress, Smax, minimum stress Smin, or stress amplitude, Sa, at which 50% of the specimens of a given sample could survive N stress cycles in which the mean stress Sm = 0. 1, record 3, English, - fatigue%20strength%20at%20N%20cycles
