The concept of stress concentration in screw threads was defined using the sheer transfer rate as the fundamental quantity. The stress concentration is plotted for a fixed geometry. The Heywood equation was used to generate the basic plots and NASTRAN was used to extend the analysis to the case both where flanks of an individual thread tooth are in contact. The case where a finite axial stress is superimposed is discussed.
The explicit expressions for an elastic-plastic trapezoidal ring element are presented and implemented in NASTRAN computer program. The material is assumed to obey the von Mises' yield criterion, isotropic hardening rule and the Prandtl-Reuss flow relations. For the purpose of demonstration, two elastic-plastic problems are solved and compared with previous results. The first is a plane-strain tube under uniform internal pressure and the second, a finite-length tube loaded over part of its inner surface. A very good agreement was found in both test problems.
