Does notching or cutting out the corner of an angle brace distribute stress better along the flange of a member with shear lag or reduce the stressed edge of the flange's ability to resist deformation?
Previously, user CableStay had illustrated Shear Lag concept in a bolted angle iron member very well.
My question then asks if it is possible to better distribute the stress of the uniform stress closer to the end of the member by notching or cutting the corner of it.
