Stress Concentration

  

The image at the right shows the concept of stress concentration at the root of the notch on the left.  The image on the right shows a uniform stress field represented as imaginary uniform stress lines that concentrate in intensity at the root of the notch.  Stress concentrations may permit failure modes to occur more quickly in fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, creep, etc.
