Abstract
The stresses in the region of an oblique hole in a flat plate are analysed using the thermoelastic stress analysis technique. Particular attention is given to the obliquity of the hole and to the line of action of the applied load in relation to the hole axes. The effects of varying plate thickness are also studied. The data from around the rim and along the internal axis of the hole are presented as a series of stress concentration factors. The results are compared to those from previous studies and discussed in detail. These confirm the findings of the previous work in that increases in hole obliquity increase the stress at the hole, the maximum principal stress is obtained when the load is applied normal to the major axis of the surface ellipse and that as the thickness of plate increases the stresses on the surface of the plate decrease. Issues such as differences in the material’s Poisson’s ratio value are also discussed. The effect of any non-adiabatic behaviour on the thermoelastic output is described.
