Abstract

The task of this paper is determining the zone of influence of a circular hole on the stress state of a homogeneous isotropic plate in pure bending condition. For solving the problem, the complex variable method was used which allows the complete analytical determination of the stresses at every point of the plate, and particularly on the contour of the circular hole. The analytical expressions for stresses in the plate of infinite dimensions were the basis for deriving a mathematical formulation which defines the zone as a function of diameter of the hole, inside which there is influence of the hole on the stress state of the plate. Obtained results are verified with FEM using the ANSYS software package whereby the input data for spatial discretization and mesh generation are not previously adjusted but was used a mesh that is generated automatically by the program.
