Summary

The problem of fatigue cracking at the slot bases of diamond-impregnated segmented circular saws is investigated. An improved slot shape is suggested minimising stress concentration and thus prolonging the fatigue life of saws. Plane stress conditions are assumed and the finite element method is used in order to find the limits of the principal stress cycles. The various slot shapes tried are compared for improved fatigue life by means of an octahedral shear stress fatigue criterion developed by G. Sines.l
