The effect of a stringer on the stress distribution around a hole: PMM vol. 38, n≗ 1, 1974, pp. 145–153

Abstract

We investigate the effect of symmetric stringers, which reinforce a plate in the zone of a circular hole, upon the distribution of the stress field around the hole. The problem reduces to a singular integral equation of the first kind which admits an approximate examination. An extensive literature is devoted to the problem of the transmission of forces to an elastic body through a stringer. A survey of the results obtained till 1968 is given in [1], where one can find the corresponding bibliographic data. The papers [2–7] belong to the recent investigations devoted to the theoretical aspect of the problem. We mention that, obviously, the authors of [7] were not aware of the papers [5, 6].
