Figure 2.18: Mesh <strong>an</strong>d geometry. Θ is the <strong>an</strong>gle associated with the hoop stress, t is<br />

wall thickness, d is notch depth <strong>an</strong>d ρ is notch radius (De Carvalho, 2005)<br />

Kim <strong>an</strong>d Son (2004) on the other h<strong>an</strong>d, mention that the nominal hoop stress c<strong>an</strong><br />

be taken as the mid-thickness stress as expressed in Equation 2.2; the schematic<br />

illustration of the model is shown in Figure 2.19. They point out that all four<br />

parameters, / t, Θ/ , d/t <strong>an</strong>d l /t, affect values of Kt signific<strong>an</strong>tly:<br />
