SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the differences in stress concentration between shear pins with V-notch grooves and rounded grooves when subjected to bending. Participants seek visual aids, such as charts or graphs, to illustrate these differences specifically for shear pins, as existing resources primarily address round circular bars. A key reference mentioned is Petersen's "Stress Concentration Factors," which provides relevant data but lacks specific examples for bending scenarios. The need for clear visual comparisons in this context is emphasized.
