Abstract
The problem of minimizing stress concentrations in machinery components is formulated as one of unconstrained minimization by incorporating all ‘side’ constraints on design variables by use of penalty functions. Design parameters describing the transition are determined for an optimal fillet in a tension bar, as well as for a piston-rod ‘eye’. The procedure is generally applicable.
