Abstract

The classical Savin solution for the stress induced in an orthotropic plate containing an elliptical hole places no restrictions on remote rigid-body rotations. In this paper the Savin procedure is used to obtain a solution for which remote rigid-body rotations are required to be zero. The validity of these new results is demonstrated by comparing predicted displacement fields near a circular hole in specially orthotropic composite panels with those measured using moire´ techniques as well as those predicted using the finite element method.
