Hi, Does anybody know what is the stress concentration factor for the countersunk fastener in matellic and composite? Or how do we define or calculate that?
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply rb1957 .
However, I had once consulted the MSC guy and they suggested me to use the Max load among those CFASTs. Just I not sure what is the logic/assumption behind so I would like to know more details about this.
BTW, the 3 CFASTs are in-line (out-of-plane), see below...
I have fittings connected with 3 CFASTs. If I would like to check the tension load and shear load in the fastener, should I sum all the loads in tension or just take the maximun will do? same goes for the shear?
Any idea?
Thanks.
