Stress Analysis of Infinite Plate with Elliptical Hole

Abstract

The stress field around different geometries like circular, rectangular, triangular, and elliptical having different orientations and loaded with different loading conditions can be find out using methods discovered by several researchers. One similar attempt has been made to determine the stresses around elliptical hole with infinite plate loaded in X-direction and Y-direction subsequently. The elastostatic problem of the homogeneous isotropic infinite plate with the loading at infinity (in X and Y-direction) for the elliptical hole is considered in this paper. Boundary value problem is solved with complex stress functions using complex variable approach. For this work, the Schwarz’s alternating technique given by Sokolnikoff and Ukadgaonkar is used, and the derived analytical solution can be used for generation of code in C++ to find out the stress components at a given particular point.
