A NOVEL METHOD OF STRESS-ANALYSIS OF INFINITE-PLATE WITH CIRCULAR HOLE WITH UNIFORM LOADING AT INFINITY

The infinite plate with circular hole problem was solved by Krisch, an d Muskhelishvili. In this new method Schwarz Alternating method is use d to find the complete complex stress functions for the stress field i n two dimensional isotropic homogeneous infinite plate with a circular hole with uniform stretch shear stress applied at infinity. The first complex solution obtained with hole from complex stress functions and successive approximate solution obtained from boundary condition obta ined at the circular boundary from the first solution. Addition of the se two solutions will give the close form solution for the given probl em. Stress concentration factors near the hole boundary and the stress field is same as that obtained by Krisch and Muskhelishvili earlier.
