TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that below a threshold value, defined as transition length, these stress concentration factors cease to be valid and, notably, that below this threshold the magnitude of the stated stress concentration may be significantly larger than existing values.

TL;DR: In this paper, the consequences of switching the uniformly loaded end, and accordingly the supported end, that is, exchanging boundary conditions in shouldered shafts with fillet radius, subjected to uniform tension, on the resulting stress concentration factor magnitudes when the length of the member is taken into account were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a finite element method only procedure (FEM-only) was proposed to determine the mechanical response (displacements, strains and stresses) in composites built up of sectors with both elastic and viscoelastic components.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that mesh orientation may have important consequences on the accuracy of the solution for the type of stress estimates treated in this work, and in a more general sense, it is concluded that mesh Orientation may haveImportant consequences in second order Poisson type problems as well.
