Abstract

In this paper a semi-analytical solution for the stress distribution in a finite convex plate with a reinforced hole and subjected to a general loading condition is presented. The method described accounts for the geometrical parameters of the plate, as well as material properties and loading conditions, which can be applied internally to the hole boundary and externally to the outside boundaries of the plate. An extensive validation of the proposed solution is carried out comparing the theoretical predictions with results from various finite element analyses, showing an excellent agreement.
