Abstract
Transmission and reflection photoelasticity has been used to determine the stress intensity factors for artificial cracks emanating from a h ole in two-dimensional tensile plates. Three geometries were investiga ted, namely a free hole, a pin-loaded hole and a hole with an interfer ence-fit pin. All these cases relate to situations commonly found in a ircraft structures. The results have been compared where possible with analytical data and a good correlation was found for these cases.
