Why the designers do not apply the theoretical stress concentration factor to a component made of ductile material and loaded elastically with a static load?

How would you calculate the stress of a specimen?

What are the units of stress?

What is toughness?

What are the factors affecting toughness?

I’ve come acorss a problem, this is what i’m faced with.

A hollow steel tube has an external diamater of 100mm and a 80mm internal diamater, it is 3m long, and is subjected to a tensile load of 400kN. The stress of the tube needs to be calculated, and also, how much would the tube stretch if Youngs Modulus is 200 000 N/mm².

Thanks very much! Any help will be EXTREMELY appreciated.

Game Theorist asked:


When the yield stress of the web is more than the flange, so i use the smaller yield stress to calculate the sectiona capacity, or the larger one?
Im guessing the smaller to be safe.
