Stress Concentration Factor of Expanded Aluminum Tubes Using Finite Element Modeling

This paper discusses the development of semi-empirical relations for the maximum stress concentration factor (SCF) around circular holes embedded in aluminum tubes under various expansion ratios and mandrel angles. Finite element models were developed to study the expansion of a typical aluminum tub...
