Abstract
Using the complex variable method and conformal mapping, scattering of flexural waves and dynamic stress concentrations in Mindlin's thick plates with a cutout have been studied. The general solution of the stress problem of the thick plate satisfying the boundary conditions on the contour of cutouts is obtained. Applying the orthogonal function expansion technique, the dynamic stress problem can be reduced into the solution of a set of infinite algebraic equations. As examples, numerical results for the dynamic stress concentration factor in Mindlin's plates with a circular, elliptic cutout are graphically presented in sequence.
