V notch calculation
V notch calculation
(OP)
Dear all,
I was checking for the strains around a V notch (single edge). I was wondering if it is possible to calculate the stresses at any point around the notch using theory of elasticity? I have heard of Williams, but i do not know if his formulas are of any help. Or do you think I would be better off doing an FE analysis?
Any suggestions are welcome!

I did an FEA. I also calculated the stresses by stress concentration using K. The two values are pretty close together.
thx again,
