Yes, that is what I thought as well, the stress and strain concentrations will be highest at the edges if a square/rectangular link was used rather than elliptical or circular ring.
I have attached a diagram to illustrate the setup. The "ring" is basically going to be pulled via rod that it...
Hi there,
I'm a university student and am stuck regarding a literature review for my individual project.
I was given a schematic sketch of the setup of my experiment that showed a force acting on a hollow ring, and a strain gauges attached on the ring measured strain for the set force.
I was...
