(12.58%) <strong>an</strong>d strain (16.9%) concentration factors respectively. At N60 <strong>an</strong>d N90, both<br />

hoop stress <strong>an</strong>d strain concentration factors are almost the same with a difference of<br />

only 1.86% <strong>an</strong>d 1.2% respectively. At N100, hoop strain concentration has a greater<br />

reduction, i.e. of about 11%, th<strong>an</strong> the hoop stress concentration factor. N7 shows the<br />

hoop stress concentration factor is 50% higher th<strong>an</strong> the hoop strain concentration factor.<br />

Figure 3.37: Reduction after the repair in hoop stress <strong>an</strong>d strain concentration<br />

factors<br />

Figure 3.38 shows several line curves of stress <strong>an</strong>d strain concentration factors<br />

with <strong>an</strong>d without repair. Since strain concentration factor Kε <strong>an</strong>d stress concentration<br />

factor Kσ are widely used in estimating the fatigue life of a notched body, it is<br />

import<strong>an</strong>t to relate these two factors together. Polak (1983) reports that if stresses <strong>an</strong>d<br />

strains obey Hooke‘s law, both factors are equal to the theoretical stress concentration<br />

factor Kt <strong>an</strong>d this relationship is expressed as;<br />

Kσ Kε = Kt 2 (Equation 3.22)<br />
