Stress concentration in brittle materials

The effect of stress concentration is more severe in the case of brittle materials, due to their inability to plastic deformation. Brittle materials do not yield locally and there is no readjustment of stresses at the discontinuities. Once the local stress at the discontinuity reaches the fracture strength, a crack is formed. This reduces the material available to resist external load and also increases the stress concentration at the crack. The part then quickly fails. Therefore, stress concentration factors are used for components made of brittle materials subjected to both static loads as well as fluctuating loads.
