Abstract: UG software was applied to formulate a three-dimensional model, based on which the tensile stress distribution in a polystyrene dumb-bell specimen was simulated using ANSYS finite element software. The factors causing stress concentration were analyzed in the different transitionary structures. The finite element analysis indicated that the maximal tensile stress occurred in domain of the transitionary circular arc 1~3 mm. The relationship between geometric parameter and stress concentration factor was formulated data fitting.

Key words: tensile specimens, transitionary structure, stress concentration, simulate, polystyrene
