Summary

This paper describes a preliminary investigation of the torsional stress concentration factors for circular shafts containing grooves determined using an analogue computer. The range covered by this analysis is for grooves which increase in depth from a minimum of 0·05 of the diameter of the shaft, with radii which vary from 0·5 to 0·05 of the diameter at the minimum section. Results are presented in the form of a data sheet, and a comparison is made with the approximate expression of Neuber. An investigation is also made of the modifications to the stress concentration factor if the flank is not perpendicular to the centre-line of the shaft.
