Mechanical engineering curricula include a number of required courses in solid mechanics and machine design that involve the determination of stresses in components with geometric irregularities. This article documents the development of a Windows‐based computer program, ME‐StressCon, that allows rapid calculation of form stress concentration factors and nominal stresses for a wide variety of geometry and load cases. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
