Problem Specification
This problem is taken from:
- Prantil, V. C., Papadopoulos, C. and Gessler, P. D., Lying by Approximation: The Truth About Finite Element Analysis, Morgan and Claypool (2013).
Consider a stepped shaft under an applied axial load, P. A stress concentration is apparent at the step where the cross-sectional area is discontinuous. The cross section is circular.
