Do the stress increase coefficient and the stress concentration coefficient mean the same thing?
The stress increase factor and the stress concentration factor essentially convey the same meaning; both describe the proportion by which the stress at a certain point in a structure or material is increased relative to the stress in the far field. However, there may be slight differences in actual use, depending on the conventions of XL in different engineering fields. .
